Unstampabelles Challenge #21 - Quilling (No Stamps, Rubber or Digital)

Hi everyone, Firstly, my (Merry) apologies for the lateness of the post for our newest challenge, travel, lack of sleep and head cold and not being organised are my excuses.  Getting back on track now. :-)

Thanks so much to those that took up our Doily challenge during February.  

Before we go on we would like to announce our Design Team Favourite for challenge #20.  Even though there were a smaller number of entries this did not make the job any easier for the Design Team as those that entered had such fantastic work.

Now it's time to see some ideas on how you can add Quilling to your papercraft creations.

This is what the Design team have been up to.  Remember to click on their names to visit their blogs and find out more details on how their creations came to be.

Please don't discount this challenge immediately.  The majority of the Design Team have never done quilling before. However, they have said that they did really enjoy the challenge and the end results.  Time to step outside the square on this one.

First off we have a card from Dreja the winner of our Design Team favourite for January.  As with everyone the quilling technique had Dreja trying something new and for a first quilling project this is beautiful.   Please visit Dreja's blog Dreja's Bastelwelt

JanR 

a quilled baby carriage on an embossed card

JessicaT

used recycled kraft card case, vine MFT die-namics, alpha stickers for sentiment, 

button for flower centre and quilled butterfly wings and flower petals. Jessica has no quilling tools so used needle nose tweezers to scroll the paper.

Lauren

used left over printer paper to create these clouds.  Lauren has never done quilling before so had no tools. 

Sarah

has never attempted quilling before, and was pretty hesitant at what kind of jumble she might create, but with a little patience and a bit of glue, Sarah fell in love with this style of papercraft. 

Susan

has terrific step by step photos on her blog and also some great links and suggestions on trying quilling. Yes, this is a first for Susan too.

 Beth

to create the large flower Beth used two different tones of paper to create the petals, which are then glued together. the centre of the flower is tight coil.

 Cathy

has quilled a variety of flowers on this card with some lovely flourish like leaves.

Time for you to cut some paper down and have a try at some quilling.
