Selva's Birthday card

The step by step making of my brother's birthday card....

This was done with a stencil and stamping ink of red and green.....

Stamped the letters and ....

colored it.....

Stamped the birthday wishes.....

Decorated the name with a flower and rainbow color feather....

Distressed the image with a very light yellow color of fabric painting....

Outlined the stamped birthday wishes with a darker color....

Added a heart punched flower to the corner ....

Wanted to have a birthday wish on the card.....
Used the tweety bird to do the saying....
Instead of  coloring, I wanted to quill the tweety bird so that it can be the highlight in the card....

First I quilled the eye with a small black marquise. Covered the top with a bright blue and then with white and finally a black strip to go around to complete the eye.

The beak was made with orange and red....

The face using a bright yellow and the eye lashes to fit in place...

The body, wings, tail in yellow and the legs in orange....

Some grass and flowers to beautyfy.....

The complete birthday card of my brother....

Home Sweet Home

 A new look to an old key box........

This is an old key box which was put aside, because the glass was broken and the photo was faded...... When I came across the old key box whilst cleaning the store room........ an idea came to my mind..... The wood was still good as new and the box was in-tact.... so I thought how will it look like if I can put some quilling to it.....

I took a scenery from a calendar paper as the background for the face of the key box.... added a few flowers, the sun and my most beautiful rainbow color butterfly..... I wanted it to say something back to me.... so I was thinking what is the best words it could hold.....

'Home Sweet Home' are the words that came to my mind. I thought this key box have been in the center of the house holding all the keys that we use.... I felt it should be given back the highlight it was holding before in the center of the house with a new look.....

To be appropriate with the scenery in the background, I added grass along with some flowers to give it a wild look....

Keeping the rainbow color butterfly as the highlight, I also added some white butterfly to fill the gaps to add more depth to wild life scenery....

My key box with a new look 'Home Sweet Home' ....

 

I need to put a glass or a transparency sheet, so that it will give the key box a complete look with the same glory it had previously, and most importantly, I can keep the dust away.....

Home Sweet Home.............

 

Quilled Tags

I have to make 150 tags for a gift shop and I am still half-way to it. Even though it is very tiny flowers that I have to make, it is still interesting and I am loving doing it.

 

Any tips and ideas for making these tags are very welcome and appreciated... Please do leave a comment.....
