My daughter took Pointe this year at dance and being the end of the year, I wanted to make a special thank you card for the staff. I drew the outline for the shoe and then filled the spaces with 1/8 width quilling paper.
I found some more ornaments in my closet of craft stuff while cleaning this summer. Obviously my cleaning didn't get very far being so delighted with my new discovery! I found a cute clip art a while back of some holly leaves, so I thought about how I could do it inside the ornament. After a few minutes, I was ready to start. After gluing two leaves together, I gently pushed them inside. I then used a plastic butter knife to keep them lying flat and let them dry. I then added the third leaf.
WOW!! Your quilling is GORGEOUS, Jennifer! I've had this art form on my list for a long time and I've just started doing some very simple bits lately! I love what you do! Thank you for the inspiration!...Nancy :o)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I didn't realize how much fun this would be...I think I've gotten addicted...I am getting ready to post some pictures using this on a card for my daughters dance studio as an end of the year thank you card. Happy quilling :)
