Orange and Black quilling

Another birthday card using orange and black. The  daisies were made from 2 inch circles that I folded and cut. There were 4 layers in each one. I cut a small hole in the centre and then snipped slits and pushed a rolled centre into them and glued the petal centres onto the centre roll. The petals need to be rolled back a bit to give them some body. The centres were made from a 3mm roll and a 5mm fringed strip.

Pink and grey quilling

I was playing around with making flowers and filler leaves on this card. This flower was made by fringing the paper so that the ends are pointed rather than squared. I made the petals very narrow on this one. The pink layer had two strips the same width plus one slightly wider. Next time I think I'd use two wider strips. the inner cream colour used two strips the same size and the centre was a half length roll and a very narrow pointed fringe strip about 15cm long. I'm going to have a go at using strips that are narrower at one end and see what difference that makes.

More quilling for Christmas

 

Quilling

I've finally got back to my quilling after a year long hiatus for moving house and I've made some inroads into making my Christmas cards. I'm finally getting the scrolls right. I just need to figure out where to glue on the pine sprigs!
