Quilling Project 3: For my Valentine, my best friend!

This is my first craft for 2015!

This month of February is unique. It's the month of love, yet for me it brings mixed emotions. Lot's of love, joy, tears, happy moments and sad moments, longing, yearning as well as ecstasy!

To celebrate all this, I thought about trying to create something new, something which I have never attempted before, go beyond my comfort zone, explore the possibilities of crafting realm.

I made this card for my best friend, my Valentine! It has so many elements which I have tried for the first time.

It's my first attempt at making side step card, stamping and making a shaker element...

This is how it looks:

Here are the new elements that I tried for the first time:

Shaker

The red, pink and white seed beads form the shaker element with heart base painted with white pearl colour on white chart paper. It's depth was created with some foam tape that I had.

Stamping

Black stamped borders above and below the sentiment are stamped. Also the heart made with 2 white and pink paisleys are stamped with 2 different paisley stamps.

The sentiments were taken from Amy Castle's song. Hope my friend likes it...keeping my fingers crossed.

Please do leave some love if you like it too!
