Decorated Cards with Shaving Cream and Quilling

I put shaving cream onto a baking sheet and dropped two colors of food coloring, then gently swirled it with my fingers. I then placed the cards down into the shaving cream, picked them up gently and raked the shaving cream off. As you can see, it leaves a tie-dye effect onto the card and then I created some quilling to embellish them. I hope you like the variated swirls!

  2. Hi Jennifer

    Thanks so much for your comment on my blog! I'm afraid that tutorial link doesn't work any more because Papers and Pixels is now a paid-for, subscription only magazine and the free editions are no longer available. If you're interested in Photoshop and all things digital, however, you would probably find the magazine well worth buying. Check out http://www.papersandpixels.com/.

    Your shaving cream effects look great - just like marbled paper. I bet you had fun experimenting! It makes a great background for your quilling. I love effects like that.

    If you'd like to find out more about digital quilling, check out this link: http://coilsbyquilliance.blogspot.co.uk/

    Kindest regards

Quilled Ballerina

Quilled Ballet,  Dancer I wanted to try something challenging and I saw a picture of a ballerina that I thought might be the one. Well, here it is....I used a combination of beehive and regular quilling. This is in honor of my daughter turning 13 today! Happy Birthday!!! Quilled Ballerina Quilled Ballerina

Quilled Pointe Shoe

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.

Another Ornament for Christmas

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.
