Easel card

Here is what I made for a recently concluded card swap- a tag easel card.When we were asked to make cards with different folds, my first thought was to make this one.I had seen it a long time ago and had wanted to try it out.It also gave me the perfect opportunity to use my new spellbinder die - marvellous squares.I just love the concept of having a tag which goes with the card .

Roses for Valentine?

With Valentine's fast approaching ,the first flower that springs to mind is the Rose..Red Roses are universally accepted as the symbol of love.Though I have often wondered why only the Red Rose?Any answers ?That is one question that  I still don't have an answer to.Hopefully one day soon.
I came across a stamp (Do not know which company )  and no I do not have it either :(  I fell in love with the design  and decided to quill it.The next best thing to having the stamp .I was happy with the way it turned out......
so am sharing it with all of you ..

Lotus anyone ??

While I was surfing  the internet the other day, I came across a beautiful picture of a Lotus.I loved the picture and thought that it was just calling to be quilled .LOL I am sure many of you will understand what I am talking about ;)I have always loved this flower and enjoy seeing it bloom in the most unlikely of places.Also as I had some new 1/4th inch papers wanted to try out on -edge quilling a la Yulia .I enjoyed the experience and found that on-edge quilling is easier with wider paper that with 1/8 th width .And I must say the Lotus never fails to fascinate me .
