quilling 1



It's nice to create something a little challenging now and again so this week I've been doing some quilling!
The backing paper is made up of labels and adverts and doesn't it look different when it is quilled...the flowers are made from the same paper.

I started with a piece of brown card and cut it into a 3mm strip, about 7cm long. I then added a fringe of the "label" paper to create the flowers. I curled the petals with a bone folder to help to shape them. I then quilled some leaves and curls.

I made a sentiment strip and attatched this to the 1st matt with brads, before sticking it to the card. It also went over the brown strip that holds the design. Finally I outlined one of the adverts in the backing paper with a straight peel-off.

I took the inspiration for this card from a book and adapted to the papers that I had at the time. Hope you like it!

See my next post for another altered version!

Ta ta for now X
