Quilled flower card for Valentine

Hi peeps. I am enjoying my mini break in Pune at my mom's place. While everyone is having an afternoon nap, I thought I'll quickly share a card that I made last week.

The flower is made using quilling comb. I combined 9 petals together to form one layer of the flower. Then I glued the two layers.

For the flower center, I placed a wooden bead in the gap in the middle and covered it up with black glitter balls. [See here another flower where I used same technique]

The PP is from Kavitha's store. The heart cut-outs are from Itsy-Bitsy. And the sentiment is stamped using my new stamp that I purchased from Jovi's store.

 Another view of the card...

BIG Flower card

Hi all! Today's card is based on Mojo Monday Sketch # 224.

Yellow is my favorite color and I loved the way this card has come out.

The flower is handmade without the use of any diecuts or punches.I throwed in a bit of black to break the monotony. But the main focal point of the card is the flower center.

It's made by gluing black colored glitter balls on a wooden bead.

 Here's a close-up of the flower center.

Hope you like my card!! Am off to sleep now :)

Hi all. This is yet another CAS card. I have tried the bee-hive technique for the first time.

It was discovered by Susan and also illustrated by Pritesh.

Giveaway at Azlina's blog

Hi all! As the post title suggests, there is a giveaway at Azlina's blog.

I really admire her work and when I started quilling, she and few other Malaysian quillers were the source of my inspiration.

I had also won at one of her blog giveaways in August in 2010.

And I still treasure this card with me :)

Do join in guys!

CAS Card & some Wins

Hi folks! This is a rather simple card that I made few days back.

I just happened to see this paper at a stationery store and fell in love with it. Don't know what it is called, but it has a net like texture and is a bit translucent.

I adorned it with flowers from Pie Lane. The pearls and ribbon are from my stash.

The border is handcut as you can see through the paper. Then I punched holes into it with my single punch :)

Quilled love birds

Hello everyone!! This is my first post for this year. But I have lots of cards ready to be shared :)
Today I am sharing my most recently quilled card based on Pritesh's challenge, which was to make a valentine day card. The condition is not to use reds, pinks and hearts.  using nonntraditional colors. It really got me thinking and this is what I came up with. The branch is hand drawn. I added a half moon with glitter balls as stars, to depict moonlight.

 A close-up of the moon...

 And the birdies..

Hope you all like my card. Unless you leave a comment, how do I know? :))
