Coming back for another post today. Hope you're ready to think Christmas... Actually, you only have to be half ready to think Christmas - the colours aren't traditional Christmas-y, but I love messing around with stuff like that.
Each year I try and make a Christmas card using all the In Colours for that year. While I wait to be able to order from the Holiday Catalogue, I have to amuse myself any way I can.
After my first attempt, I absolutely had to try quilling again. I actually have the proper tool this time, so I'm not spinning around a toothpick and crossing my fingers I'm not going to get a splinter.
This is a very challenging (and time-consuming) hobby! I envy and admire those people who can come up with elaborate designs. I'm not there yet, but I'm enjoying learning this new craft.
I think next time (and there will be a next time), I'm going to try and copy the snowflake from the Snow Swirled set (stamped beside my snowflake in my card). Looks like the perfect design! And, I'll likely make it all white (or at the very least, light shades of blue). Perhaps Sahara Sand, White and Soft Sky! Yum...
I played along with Merry Monday and Fab Friday today.

ReplyDeleteI did some quilling many years ago. I used the snowflakes as tree decorations until my DD thought they would make good Christmas gifts for her friends! This makes a beautiful and very special card!
