Wax Seal - Maple Leaf in Stamp Mold

I used my electric wax warmer along with my 2 candle burners since I was working with a bunch of colors at the same time... I'm not that happy with the red splotch - but c'est la vie.

So I melted 3 colors and poured a little of each in a tight area to create the maple leaf. Cleaned of the excess and then fussy cut some areas. Poured the white onto my mat and pressed the leaf into that. Fussy cut around the circle. Then mixed gold and a bronze and poured that into my silicone stamp mold.

Size card: 5"w x 7"h
I wrote out the quote using a Zebra nib and 3 colors of Kuretake Gem Colors set in a Dot Alphabet. Adhered the seal to the paper with an adhesive circle then adhered it to a rusty brown card base.
words: Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree. Emily Bronte.

I could only imagine how tricky I would find it working with multiple colors of wax on one small leaf. Altogether it's a lovely fall card.
