Something different from me today; a quilled design! I first saw and became fascinated with quilling about 7 years ago. I bought paper strips and some tools and a book of 'how to' designs and made a few rather pathetic attempts to produce something that looked like a flower. Being somewhat discouraged, I gave up and put all the papers and tools away.
When I sold my home and moved 2 1/2 years ago, those quilling things got packed into one of the boxes and have lain dormant (translate to "That box never got unpacked") until a couple of weeks ago. Out came everything and I'm going to do a lot more practicing. Quilling is fun! Time consuming, but fun. :-D
The ribbon is purple grosgrain and the bow is made from lavender satin ribbon, both from my stash of leftover bits and pieces. The card base is made from shiny, metallic CS - hard to photograph but gorgeous IRL.

I put these flowers on dimensional dots and mounted them onto a die cut (Spellbinders). The sentiment is rubber stamped, cut with an oval die (QuicKuts) and that's layered onto a stitched scalloped circle (Memory Box.) All the die cuts were made from scrap pieces waiting to be used or tossed out.

Hi Connie! I love your card, beautiful quilling (something I've never mastered!).
Lovely to see you in the Snippets Playground, am sure it's your first visit (?) so remember that if you want to be in the prize draw you need to leave a comment saying as much. This is just because in the past I've only found out after doing the weekly draw that in fact the winner didn't want the prize after all.
