I've been wanting to try quilling on a card for a very long time. I've never done it before (youtube was my best friend), and I didn't have any of the supplies (hello, toothpick), but in the end, I think it turned out OK.
Stampin' Up! cardstock might be just a smidge too heavy/thick, and it tends to separate a bit, but all-in-all, it was super fun. I will definitely be trying it again - especially since I found a quilling tool at a lovely little Mom & Pop store here in the city. Hurray!
I used some Smoky Slate as my neutral for this one. I thought it was a nice contrast to the oranges, and it made it more 'modern' than 'autumn'.
Come check out the challenge this week and link up your card. We can't wait to see what you do with these colours.
Thanks for stopping by today!

First of all, great job with the color combo. I think these colors would be difficult to work with...and Your card turned out just great! Can't believe that was you first time with doing quilling. It's on my do list this year...last year I made one small tag...and it seemed to take me forever...but I guess that's why you have to practice, and practice...
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness that was your first time quilling??? It's fabulous!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Tara. Great job for a first-timer and it looks so time-consuming!
ReplyDeleteTara, when I post my card, sometimes my husband will look over my shoulder and we will both pick a card for our winner.
