Lil' Gothic Inspiration

Last week I was asked to create a card in which at least one of the predominant color would be black. Not as unusual as you would expect from a card, but anyway a first-timer for me. As for the friend who asked me doing this, I think she was happy with it. What about you? What do you think? :)

I like the color combo and how all the violet shades blend together with the ultramarin narrow ribbon and bow. I think I'll keep in mind this pattern for future gothic-inspired cards.

Until next time,
Behave And Quill!

Little Floral Fantasy

It's very late ( or very early - depending on how you want to see the watch :)) ), but I didn't want to go to sleep without posting this card for you. As I already told you, I started to love ribbons more and more and I also like the contrasting colors layering. I am also so comfortable making these flowers, different sizes and shapes, but somehow all being able to blend it together. I feel that soon I'll want to quill something different, but until then...let's see this:)

Also, as you can see, I experimented a little with the idea of making a watermark on all of my cards, with the initials of the blog: "Happy Quilling". Any thoughts about it?
I'll wait for your opinions and also suggestions for what should I quill further. I have some ideas of my own, but I would always love to hear fresh ideas from you!
But, as you know by now,
Until next time,

Royal Purple

I decided to share a quick post with you before I go to sleep today, so here it is :) I made this card for one of my professors in college, which was given by one of my colleagues and, as far as I know, she liked it very much.
It was the first time I used such a technique, inspired by the layering Gina K. is doing in her videos on the Stamp TV Youtube Channel - which by the way, I love so so so much!!!!!!



Unfortunately, as I have no dies or Cuttlebug (...yet :D) I had to keep it this simple, without risking to make it look clumsy or rough and tumble. I like the colours and the fake-embossed card stock - which I will show you in a future post how it's made and I like how the flower is positioned asymetric.
I am planning to make a couple more cards like this the next week, so stay in touch!
Until next time,
Behave And Quill!
