Valentine's Day Challenge

Hello All,

I am back with a brand new challenge! :) And this is a special one for me as I will be announcing the results from my home country - INDIA!!!!!!!! Yay!

Now, the challenge (not unpredictably) is to make a project for Valentine's Day! So, your loved one can now look forward to a card, tag, bookmark, gift box......blah blah blah from you! But wait wait wait! :) You aren't having it that easy yet! :)

There is a twist!

You have to make a project that should NOT have heart shape pattern (anywhere at all), no red and no pink. By no red, I mean absolutely no red and by no pink, absolutely no pink (not even as support colours). So, pick up those browns, blues, yellows, oranges, purples...........and get creative. You can combine it with as many challenges as you feel like, but it has to be a project you made after my challenge was announced. Only 2 entries per participant please........(I am keeping my job of having to judge easy ;)).

The challenge closes on Feb. 13th at noon (IST). This will be my first day in India, after moving back for good and I want to be happy looking at all the creative creations! :)

The rating system remains the same as my last challenge: 34% weightage to creativity, 33% to skill and 33% to overall neatness and harmony between the elements. Quilling has to be the majority technique in the project.

And now, the PRIZE! Oops, PRIZES! Yes, this time, I will be selecting two winners. One, overall winner and one, "Most creative Idea". The overall prize will get a goodie bag from me, filled with quilling stuff (lots of quilling strips in a host of colours, quilling tool, glue, designer board etc.). The Most Creative Idea winner will win a customized gift from me (i.e. the winner can specify the criteria, I will make the gift accordingly).

Please post the link to your project (if you have a blog) or mail me the pictures at pritzd@gmail.com. Looking forward to some creativity from all of you and THANKS so much for participating :)

A small idea for getting going (the background is actually purple though it looks pink :D):



And yet another idea:



Happy Quilling

PS: If my posts inspire you to create something on similar lines, I feel highly flattered. But please, do respect the effort I take in conceptualizing and executing, please give a direct link to my work when you are inspired by mine. Thanks for understanding........:-)
