Quilled card with photo or message holder I have been busy quilling last weekend, making my first quilled card for Mom's birthday. And I'm totally in love with quilling :)
I planned to make a card for her, but did not have any specific design outlined in my mind. I just started with basic flowers, tried out different shapes and techniques for the leaves. I learnt to glue things without much fuss. I used my own technique for the two big leaves with veins. The curled strip came out very well, that's the highlight of this card. I had some graduated strips in stock, so used most of them in this piece. Graduated strips are nothing but two colored strips... from light green to dark green.
Thought of quilling the letters like MOM and develop on it, but was very skeptical about properly packing it with care and sending the card by post. So I tried out this photo/card holder instead. You can place any message on it or place a small photo of your loved one and frame this card, makes a good wall piece.

Packing this card was very difficult, I had wrapped it up with bubble wrap and sent through courier. But then too it had some damages. It is too delicate that the shapes get deformed sometimes. Next time I'm planning to pack it in boxes and send them.
Hope you liked my creation... looking forward to make more cards for friends and family. And also discover new quilling shapes and techniques everytime :)
Happy Quilling!! Drop me your comments on the card below...
