PHOTO FRAME ON CANVAS BOARD

I used a canvas board as the base.Used acrylic paint to give the background and for stamping. Sponge is the best applicator for larger surface and the finishing is pretty good.
I matched the photo frame with the ribbons and the sentiment and adhered the punched flowers and leaves.

FLORAL BORDER

This was a customised order. The roses are quilled and the leaves and other flowers are punched.
A little sponging also creates very natural look. The punched flowers and leaves are sponged at the edges.And they gave an entirely different look after being given the shading effect.

QUILLED PEACOCKS

Quilling is going a long way on my craft table. I tried the peacocks with a little variation in the colours. This card came from the inspiration of Inna's Quilled Peacock.
I did my bit of changes. I used three colours of strips(1/2 strip of each colour for each feather) and stuck them together and quilled it.

The eye is a tight roll of white and black (1/4th strip each colour)stuck together and inserted in the head piece later while sticking on the main card.
It is time consuming but worth trying. I would recommend all the quillers out there to give it a try.
Hope that helped!
Thanks for looking.


QUILLED PEACOCK FEATHER

It looks difficult but actually isn't. Took some time to make it but it was worth all the effort. A close-up.

QUILLED FLORALS

Lets start with the tutorial
Cut 3 pieces of strip depending on the card size and the desired look. Turn the ends of the strips with your fingers.
Use 1 full strip for the larger flower's bud and half a strip for the smaller one. Glue it into a loose coil and press it from two points to form the shape. Adhere it to the tip of each stem.
1 strip for the larger petals and half a strip for the smaller one. Form the leaf shape and adhere it under the blue bud.Adhere the leaves. 1 strip for a leaf. Your card is ready!
Hope that helped.
