Residence from a couple of days away… proper earlier than leaving I noticed I used to be in want of a card to accompany a child reward. The son and daughter-in-law of mates have a model new child boy… welcome to the world, toddler!
I set to work on a quilled card that I may tie onto the reward bag’s deal with, taking liberal inspiration from the printed fluffy sheep. It was enjoyable to root by way of my provides and I actually loved quilling once more…one thing I hadn’t made time for in fairly some time.
I want my efforts had paid off in a design that seemed as cute as the unique… ah nicely, I loved the method and that is what it is all about. My overly chubby quilled sheep seems to be disgruntled, off form, and clearly in want of a shearing… I am afraid I acquired carried away rolling coils.
I occurred to have the scalloped coronary heart available… years in the past I had minimize out fairly a couple of from printer paper utilizing scallop-edge scissors and ran them by way of a paper crimper for a hospice occasion. I am glad I might saved the extras because it made for a pleasant background for a top-fold coronary heart minimize from mild blue pearlescent paper… folded so I may write a word to the dad and mom inside.
To quill the wool, I used silver edge shiny white 1/8” strips from Quilled Creations to make free coils. For his face and legs, I used Quilled Creations 1/8″ gray strips, together with teeny bits of pink and black to create a nostril and mouth. The little google eyes had been from my stash and add to his goofy expression. After all Amazon sells them in all sizes.
Regardless that this little venture was positively not my shining second, it is all the time a very good time to spend a couple of enjoyable hours doing what you’re keen on (simply want I might had time for a do over)!
