Poppies and dandelion. Framed quilling

-

It's November. The weather gets bitterly cold when the fall season, with its gold palette of colors, is turning into winter. But I want to bring you a piece of hot summer with its green leaves, red poppies, yellow dandelions and bumblebees.

This project had started as a tutorial on how to make a dandelion seed head, but later developed into an elaborate picture.

When the tutorial was finished, I had a few dandelion seed heads left and decided to use them for a colorful picture. I added some yellow dandelion flowers, but wasn't satisfied. So I put in red poppies to create contrast with the pale seed heads. Finally, I added two bumblebees and at this point the design felt complete.

If you remember, I already made a similar picture in the past, and explained how to make yellow dandelion flowers and poppies here.

Size of the picture is about 7" x 7" (17.5 x 17.5 cm) not including the frame.

Es precioso, me encanta el conjunto de las amapolas con el diente de león :P. Uyyy que chiquito, me ha engañado la foto, jajaja, parecia mas grandote, jeje. Es un cuadrito muy manejable para cualquier riconcito con ese tamaño.
Besote!!!!

Floral greeting card with spiral flowers

-
Image
I tried to make a greeting card with three-dimensional flowers. The techniques is described in detail in " Paper Crafts Workshop: A Beginner's Guide to Techniques & Projects ". In short: Draw a swirl on coloured paper. Cut the paper following the swirl design with decorative scissors (waves of different types). Start cutting from the outside to the centre. Roll the swirl from the outside towards the centre around a thin round stick or using a quilling tool. Remove the stick and let the rolled paper free. It opens a little into a flower. Pull the centre (a small circle) of the swirl and glue it underneath. Cut out leaves, place them on a soft pad and gently press in veins. UPDATE: Don't miss the video tutorial on how to make such roses.
