I must admit I know nothing about quilling and I didn't use the tools for my faux quilling here. Further, instead of using the given template (which is a tree), I went off to challenge myself with hearts! No, I didn't mean to challenge myself, but I thought I could use more hearts than trees. I wanted to make a Christmas cards that tells the recipient that I am sending Christmas love, so I really wanted to use hearts rather than a tree.
Ready for an eyesore? Don't say I didn't warn you!
My blog is my creative diary so I have to include it here. Sorry for the eyesore, nuisance, visual pollution, whatever you call it and I don't blame you.
It was a good practice, however. We were suggested to use pins on a corkboard to fix the thin strips of paper. I tried that but I quickly realized that it would not work for the curves of a heart. What did I do? I used the negative of chipboards as my guide to shape the hearts. It was hard, but I will try it again till I can do better.
Thanks for stopping by!
I think you are being far too critical! Certainly not an eyesore- I actually saw the card in the gallery and it stood out because of the sweet nested hearts! I think you did an awesome job, especially since this was your first attempt at a quilled technique. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jennifer. You made a very cute card, that stands out in the gallery.

ReplyDeleteYou sound just like me. Always trying to do our own spin on the technique. I say Congrats for stepping out of the box. Your card is lovely…pun intended. :-)
