Quilled valentine

    I have used multistrip scrolls after a long time for this heart. They are elegant and fun to make.
All the strips are 3mm two tone. I cut up a pattern paper in the shape of a heart and have quilled over it.  There is nothing much to say except all the suggestions for colour and shapes came from Nithya who ordered the card.
 Thanks for stopping by.

Valentine Quilling

                         Pendant made using 3mm mixed pack

                      

                      I remade this card from many years ago . I couldn't make it exactly the same. 

              Hearts and folded roses I love making them both.

Quilled peacock feather.

     It seemed so easy when I started but I had to redo the centre several times.  I am still working on the colours for the centre I am yet to make four more of these. The brown is a light metallic colour and I have also used two shades of green . I stuck one strip of green alongside that of the brown  strip and then crimped it and then straightened it to use for the strands. The centre is two shades of blue.

    Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you all again in 2018.
Merry Christmas and a very happy new year to all.

Quilled congratulations cards

QUILLED CARDS

Quilled first anniversary gift.

        Recently I received a mail from Sherin who wanted to surprize his wife with a first anniversary quilled card with both their names on it. I choose the font and with some inputs from Sherin I completed the card. The names are made with 5mm normal quilling strips. The flowers are made using 3mm quilling strips.

       Wishes to the couple who are celebrating their first anniversary today for many many years of togetherness.

       Thanks for stopping by, Have a great day.

Quilled Lilac

      Lilacs always fascinate me. To achieve the layered effect of the flowers in quilling is ever a challenge. I have quilled lilacs before the variation here is I used tight coils for the petals.
All the strips are three millimetres in lavender , yellow and two shades of green.
      I rolled an entire pack of 100 strips of lavender to make exactly 25 small flowers. I arranged and then stuck them to give a layered finish.
       Thanks for stopping by, Have a great day.

Seventieth Birthday card.

         I was requested to make a card for a seventieth birthday.For this card I tried to use some bold colours. I cut out purple colour card stock only for the outline of the number 70. The flowers are made using purple and yellow 3mm strips. The centres are fringed out of 5mm yellow colour strips.

          

        Thanks for stopping by have a great day.

First anniversary gift.

    It is quite sometime since my last post. I have been busy with many things like summer camp at our library and learning calligraphy. I have also been quilling but not much.
    This is the first card this year and I realised how much I love making cards when I was working on it.
    This card was made as a first anniversary gift for a wonderful couple, Ravishankar and Suchitra requested by the girl's mother. She gave me complete freedom to choose what to make . I started the card with the idea of lots of roses and a couple of butterflies, this is how the card turned out. The card is pretty big almost A4 size. I used 1 cm A4 strips for the roses and 3mm strips for the rest of the card.
     Thanks for stopping by , Do let me know what you think of this card in the comment section.

Quilled twenty fifth anniversary card

    I have made a lot of twenty fifth anniversary cards. Surprisingly for the same person who orders one as each of her friends reach that landmark year. This one is slightly different . I mixed more colours to this card.
    I thought it would be nice to have my first post of the year a very colourful valentine.
I worked with 3mm strips for the whole card and used two tone colour strips for the birds and for the letters. As usual the letters were the real challenge. Happy to have pulled it off once again without too much mess.

    Thanks for stopping by, A very happy 2016 to everyone.

Quilled K

 
   I love making Quilled letters , and especially happy when I receive a card request. The font the colours to use were all given to me . I pretty much filled up the whole card which was also requested making the whole process easy and fun.
   I am not getting updates from even my favourite pages on Facebook. I am not sure if anyone else has this problem and now a days I depend more on blogger to get updates . I hope also to be as active on blogger as I can.

   Thanks for stopping by, Have a great day.
   

   
  

Some Customised Quilling.

    I was recently requested to make a card with the sentiments , 'Celebrate' and 'U r Loved' on it. I was also asked to include rainbow colours if possible in the card. I made this almost white on white card with white flowers with rainbow centres. I really love how elegant it turned out!

      This twenty fifth anniversary is customised in purple shades in the exact pattern as  my earlier version . 

This Rosary is another first , Would have never thought of making one if I had not received this request. I used metallic paper for the beads as well as the cross. I painted the cross with a thin coat of pearl gold.

    I have been making a lot of tree it seems this year and this one is very special. I was asked to add the words' Kalpa Vriksha ' or the wish giving tree at the top . I am very fond of this font and took this opportunity to use it. When Nirmala called me to place the order she told me that almost an year ago she had seen my husband at the framers with a quilled tree and that she having not heard of Quilling before had been curious about it. She learnt about my blog from my husband and mailed me when she needed to gift someone a special gift.

   Recently I worked to make a lot of Quilled jewellery sets for a college reunion.  The colours they had chosen were red, black and Gold.  After a lot of though it was decided that the ladies would each receive a Quilled set and the men would each receive a Quilled hanging for their car. You can see the Quilled jewellery I made on my Page . The past many weeks have been very stressful as there was a lot of confusion in this year's seat allotment to the NITs. It included us having to make sudden travel plans to NITs in other states. I took my Quilling along with me and this particular hangings I made on the train, it did attract a lot of attention and I also found some Quilling enthusiasts . But all our confusion has a happy ending , my younger son Akhil is now in NIT Trichy , our home state NIT along with his elder brother.
