IQCG DT Inspiration # 46

Hello Quillers,

Here is another post for the DT inspiration for month of April. And this month's colour palette is as below.

For this month's theme, I decided to do something for the first time which I have been meaning to do for a long, long time. It  is Spiral Quilling. I saw it for the 1st time on some blog and fell in love with it instantly.  Got to know Ritu Gera is the the artist who made that artwork which I saw and I just checked out her entire blog. Do go to he page (click here) to see some of the most amazing things she does with paper.  

Oh, coming back to this month's theme, I chose both shades of green and yellow from the challenge palette and combined it with neutral colour black to make an abstract artwork. I chose a canvas board of size 4" x 6". I drew some random overlapping circles. I colored the rest of the BG with black acrylic paint to have a contrast which will bring the focus on the light coloured circles. Here are some pictures. 

Please do enter the challenge and get a chance to win lovely prizes.

Looking forward to see your creativity. Happy quilling!

Cheers!

IQCG # 45 - DT Inspiration

Dear Quillers,

This entire year we are going with different colour combinations as our challenge themes. This month's theme are these colour combinations. 

And this is my take on this challenge theme. I have made an artwork on a canvas board. I have coloured the background with teal and pink acrylic colours. I have first stenciled the two butterflies with texture paste. After that I added two quilling braids, one blue and pink other teal and pink. After that I added pink, purple and white flowers to make a bunch surrounded by green quilled scrolls. 

Just few more glimpses of my work while it was completed.

It was still looking like it's missing something and didn't quite looked finished. After thinking for long time what to do with it, I came up with a very simple idea. Wasn't sure how it will turn out to be, I took a chance and implemented that idea. Thank goodness it worked and the final product looks something like this.
