This card was created layering two different decorative papers and then quilling the flowers. The entire card has an antique-y type of look. The quilling was done with tight rolls.
This beautiful card celebrates all those who love to garden. The beautiful vellum
paper is embellished with glitter that makes the flowers glitter and shine.
This card started with the blue textured paper and a tiny scrap of silk paper. I absolutely love both paper types and never want to waste a tiny piece of it.
I quilled the wheat stalks and they seemed to go perfect with the blue textured paper. The blue accentuates the tan quilling strips used in the wheat stalks.
This card is for sell in my etsy shop. Pop over and take a look.
Tea bag Folding and Quilling come together on this beautiful “Thinking of You” card. The rich blues and pinks in the kite folding tile pop against the ivory decorative paper background. The outside of the card reads “was thinking of you today …” and the inside reads “.. and just wanted you to know how important you are to me.”
I made this while exploring the art of tea bag folding. I have to admit that I have been spending more time quilling than tea bag folding, but not because I did not like it. I love the process. It is once again a matter of ‘too much to do, too little time’.
I hope you enjoy looking at this card. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
Who says the color blue is depressing? Blue is considered beneficial to the mind and body. It slows human metabolism and produces a calming effect. Blue is strongly associated with tranquility and calmness. In heraldry, blue is used to symbolize piety and sincerity. When you add the white - associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity, and virginity - this card portrays all that is good in the world.
