Quilled Pink Valentine Card

Hi.,

I am so excited to write my first blog. And it's even more exciting that it will be about quilling. My interest for quilling started around 3 years back when I was thinking of making handmade card for my mom on Mother's Day. Since then I am making small quilled cards, quilled earrings for my friends.

After all these years of quilling, my passion for quilling increased. And while through blogs related to quilling, the idea of having my own blog for quilling bloosmed. I named my blog as QUILLING SPEAKS as I would like to express my thoughts through quilling and I feel every single quilled shape expresses something.

When the idea of blogging occured, I was thinking which project to pen down. At this stage I came across Indian Quilling Challenge Blog, which is a fantastic platform for quilling enthusiasts to show their talent and it provides a competitive edge for quilling which adds more interest. There recent challenge : IQCG#23-- Anything Goes with pink in it, gave me a subject for my first blog.

And the thought to give a handmade quilled card to my husband on our first Valentine day was a fuel to my quilling engine. That's when the Pink Valentine Card was quilled.



The card is of Pink Handmade paper with a pink heart on it. Different quilled shapes fill the heart in different shades of pink. I have used both 3mm and 5mm pink shades of pre-cut quilled strips. The alphabets indicates the first letter of my name and my husband's name.



I am excited to tell that I am entering my project to IQCG#23-- Anything Goes with pink in it.

While going through other blogs, came across many other challenges. The links are below:
