Navy and white quilling

I used a daisy cutter for the white petals which were made from white parchment paper so they are slightly translucent. There are two layers of each of 3 sizes. I used a fringed rolled centre with  a small 3mm roll (1/4 length) - then a 5mm fringed blue roll (1/2 length) and a full length hand fringed pink roll. Again I made a hole in the centre and snipped small slits out from the hole, then pushed the centre through the hole and glued into place.

Silver and Blue Quilled Card

Blue 2mm strips were used to make the scrolls and  leaf fronds. The large fringed flower has a smaller punched flower glued to the centre. The cream flowers are made from 4 scrunched scalloped circles pinned together with a small brad. The remaining flowers were made from six 2mm wide loose leaves with a fringed flower in the centre. The quilling is mounted on white card and matted on a light blue linen backing card, also mounted onto a darker grey-blue linen base card.

Anniversary Card 2013

My wedding anniversary is just before Christmas and this year we are celebrating 32 years of marriage. This is the card I made for my husband.

I used 300gsm white card stock for the base, then layered two matting boards using blue shaded blue paper. The base was an A4 sheet, folded in half and then I trimmed off an inch from the bottom.

The top cut out is a spellbinders die, which comes with an oval which I used to make the blue oval matting board, cut from the same shaded blue paper as the matting board. The blue backing board is 1/2 inch larger than the die cut out. I printed the sentiment onto white cardstock and cut it out using the second largest spellbinders classic oval die.

The lower boards were cut 1/4 inch smaller for each layer. I layered a blue layer, then white then a second  blue layer. The ribbon is one inch wide satin and is tied around the last two matting boards and into a double bow. The board was layered with foam tape onto the lower blue backing boards, which were then attached to the card base with foam tape.

Finally I added three pale blue diamontes to the sentiment, and used the same pale blue diamontes to bling up the spellbinders cut out.
