I recently just designed this quilled card for my best friends birthday and this is what it looks like. What do you guys think? I would love to hear your feedback or suggestions on what to make next! I'm also currently taking commissions and thinking of setting up at Etsy shop so I can possibly sell them online. Please let me know your thoughts in the comment section below.
My favourite part of this card is the ribbon strip that is along the side. The little gold edging goes well with the card I think. The most difficult part was the leaves because the inside and outside had to be different lengths and at different curvatures so they wouldn't overlap each other. I included a picture of the process I used to make the pieces for the card. You can see how I have everything pinned on a cork board before I glue it onto card stock paper paper. I traced the size of the paper onto the cork board to make sure everything fit when I finally glued it down. The process took about 2 evenings to complete but I think the end product turned out really nice. I also recently just acquired some Mod Podge from Amazon, which for those that are unfamiliar with the product, is a type of top coat glue so that the pieces will stay in place and give it a clean finish. It can also be used as just regular glue. I will have to do some experimenting to see how I can use it so it doesn't form large globs on the fine edges of the quilling paper but that will be a post for another day. I also am thinking of possibly experimenting with spray top coat finish just as a comparison.
