A quilled thanks

Hello All,

I am sorry for not commenting on all the lovely posts by everyone both on Facebook and Blogger. It has been a mad mad weekend with my in-laws leaving and me doing some special cooking (rum raisin cake and makki roti sarson saag).

But I DID manage to squeeze in a quilled card (this damn craft gets into your pores and doesn't let go!). And here is my quilled card.........one of my all time favourite flowers - Bird Cherry! I love photographing this flower and have hundreds of images. Finally, I have (approximately) quilled it :)

I am entering this for:

1. Thanks Challenge at For Fun Challenges
2. Gratitude Challenge by Crafty Creations
3. Thanks challenge by Scrap Creations
4. Thank you challenge using hoarded supplies (I majorly hoard card-paper, the one I have used as a background is a probably a good 3 yrs old, I think. The background paper is a scrapbooking paper out of my hoarded scrapbooking papers and I have NEVER made a single scrapbook! Hehehehe. The outline patterns are drawn by my hoarded Ikea kids' pens :D)
5. Thanks challenge TPE 126 by The Pink Elephant Challenges

A quick Thank You card

Hello All,

A quick Thank You card for a friend who requested one today. This has got to be the fastest execution of an order I have ever done! Thanks to Nati and Manu for the inspiration for the petals. This is my first attempt at depth petals :-)

Happy Quilling

3D quilling - blue bell flowers

When I looked at the beautiful examples of 3D quilling by various people on the Net, I was tempted to try it. Actually trying it was another thing though! Quilling needs very less money for doing but truck loads of patience! One can have time but patience is a different story altogether! Needless to say, skill too. Patiently putting together paper strips, rolling them to give them the angle you want....everything takes a lot of skill and patience. I was more than happy to be doing that as Art is such a creative satisfaction to me. I tried a card for the very lady who got me started with quilling.......they say aptly, age is no bar to wisdom. She was right! I took to it and am loving doing it......here's to her :-)

Details (as usual):
Base: 250 gsm white pearl paper (Panduro Hobby AB)
Blue: 120 gsm printing paper (A3)
Light Green: 80 gsm printing paper (leaves were made using the idea from Inna's tutorial)
Dark Green: 250 gsm chart paper (from Akademiebokhandeln)
Flower cores: Teardrop pearls on strings (from Pipoos Hobby, Gent)
