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.

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

SWEETHEARTS

Just a variation in the 3 squares card. This one was a quickie.Stickers can make life easy!

Thanks for looking.

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.
