Quilled 21st Birthday Card

I'm back! After ages of no updates - sorry about that! Uni work has been piling up and life is crazy as usual.

At any rate, I've been somewhat addicted to quilling projects lately - although not to the amount of time and effort involved - and this was a project I undertook for a friend's 21st birthday. I think the toughest thing about quilling is even knowing where to start - you need the right sort of paper in the right colours (and I'm terrible at coming up with good colour schemes), and a nice design that takes well to being quilled. And after that you have to sit for hours on end, painstakingly rolling/curving each strip of paper into just the right shape and size, and then glue it on carefully (without the help of tweezers = the most excruciating job ever)

But the end result was SO WORTH IT. <3 I almost wish I'd made this for myself! I sort of ruined it with the atrocious writing, but the recipient loved it anyway so thank goodness.

More projects to be up on my blog soon!
