Black and Gold Card & a Quilled Butterfly

Quilled butterfly Card

Hi Friends

This is the first time I attempted on-edge quilling with this butterfly. I had used a thick transparent sheet as base(vellum like from the cover of a desk calender) as base and had thought to use glass colours to fill the spaces but at the last minute I tried silver colour with gold beads. I want to make another one with glass colors too. Painting the base was tricky as the gaps inside were very close.

I have used a very nice golden paper from a wedding card on black cardstock, punched some small butterflies and added some quilling elements. I need some tips on how to take good pics, the card looks much better than the pics. Again a card with basic supplies and some recycling................hope you like it.

Hi Friends

Here's wishing you all a vibrant, colorful  happy holi. I played with my rangeela water colors and created some backgrounds to wish all of  you. Have used some simple water color techniques and little bit of quilling.

This 'Raining Colors' card is dedicated to Dr Sonia for her generosity in sharing and esp for her this post which deserves a place in any blogging bible.

This Pichkari card is dedicated to Suganthi for her flawless quilling and all that I have learnt from her. This is inspired by her this post.Thank you dear ladies.........

For some reason I have not been able to capture this card well and the colors have played tantrums here. Tried different lighting so difference in colors in pics.This looks much better actually.

I would like to share with my international friends that  Holi is an important festival and is celebrated all over India. The language of colors is Universal and the joy and celebration of colors is a celebration of LIFE itself!!!

Hope you liked these................................all these are painted freehand with water colours on papers from my younger son Ritvic's sketchbook.
