craftgrrl | Quilled note card

Hello all!

I just want to share my first finished quilling project :) I made it for my friend and co-worker who is expecting a baby girl :)

First, I was trying to make a sketch, but I'm aweful at drawing. So mostly I kept the idea in my mind :)

First of all, I had to make nice wording. I was thinking that foiled letters would be looking great, and I was right :)

I printed the words on heavy cardstock on laser printer, and applied special laminating foil. The foil sticks only to tonner. After rolling it through laminator couple times, I got pretty much good looking foiled "It's a GIRL!" sign, that later was cut off with scalloped edges and glued to a blank note card base.

Then, I made several quilled flowers and leaves...

...and applied them to the note card base.

The note card, actually, was a part of a gift from a group of gals from our work. That's why I printed joined greeting from all of us, cut it off, and glued it inside the card.
