Showing posts with the label January 28

Day 28 of the #amonthinpaper challenge from @paperartistcollective . I can’t believe we’re coming to the end! Today’s prompt is support system. I’ve been blessed to have a large network of people who have supported me since day one. My family who puts up with tiny bits of paper and glitter everywhere and me saying, “Check out this one!” and all of you who are taking the time to read my posts and comment. Every time you do that, I am encouraged to keep honing in on my skills and growing as a creative. I look back and realize how much I’ve come and how far I want to go…. (but my goals are another days prompt! ☺️) So thank you and a huge shoutout to those of you who have said yay or nay and keep dropping by to see what I’m up to next! ☺️✂️🖌💐 Size- 8”x10” . . . . . . . . . #paperart #quilling #quillingfun #jenniferstacey #crossart #religiousart #quilledcross #paperquilling #paperflowers #floraldesign #wildpilotllc #madefrompaper #watercolorpainting #etsysellersofinstagram #etsyfind #religiousdecor #faith #thankfulgratefulblessed #paperartistcollective #amonthinpaperday28

Once it had dried, I peeled off the vinyl and I used 1/2″ hand cut strips to outline the ribbon and 1/8″ precut quilling strips to outline the words and hearts. I then filled in the Ribbon with flowers and swirls, while using the beehive technique to fill in the hearts  and words. I then used the glitter paint to go over the top of the quilled parts to give them a sparkly effect as well. I hope you love the way it turned out, and I hope this helps a great cause.
