I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I’ve been quilling again and made this square easel card with quilled flowers for mum on her 83rd birthday.
This is my first attempt at quilled folded roses and daisies. Other than straining my eyes to cut the fringe very fine for the daisies, I enjoyed making them all. I wanted a basket of flowers for mum and came up with this version. I used thin strips in two shades of brown to weave it, then mounted it on 3D foam for dimension. As it still looked quite flat, I added a semi-circular piece of card paper to the base. I didn’t feel like quilling the leaves, so I added punched ferns instead. The base of the card is textured handmade paper which feels like wafer. The sentiment is printed and dabbed with a moistened tea bag to blend with the base.
Here’s the bottom and side view of the basket…
Finally, here's a close up of the basket of flowers.
