Tent Card!

Good afternoon Ladies!

Before I go back to hibernation..I am here with the last card of this month..

This is a tent card in which I have added quilling elements..The challenge at IQC this month is plants..So I wanted to create a hanging pot with flowers(Inspired by this plant from brother's garden)..

Luckily I came across this beautiful post. I really loved the idea.

Here is my Tent card..

Tent Card

Quilled pot

Tent Card-Tag on the Back in a vellum pouch

1.To make this card first I made the pot with quilled roses and some fringe flowers. This is my first attempt at 3D quilling. I don't have proper quilling tools. So all my quilling projects till date have been constructed using a toothpick. I was not able to get the courage to make roses using toothpick. But this time I tried and I succeeded. Really happy as paper roses always interested me.
2.Then I took a beautiful geometric pattern paper from Itsy-Bitsy and cut out a circular panel. Attached a white card stock to pattern paper and made tent portion( Here is a beautiful tutorial).
3. For the inside I took a white card stock and painted it pink. Then to create the texture used a polythene. Then stuck this textured piece on the inner panel.
4. Attached strings to the pot and stuck it to circular panel with silicone glue. Made a boundary using black card stock and decorated it with more tiny flowers, flat base pearls and a cute denim butterfly (a gift from itsy-bitsy).
5.Added a ribbon (a RAK from Ash) and a sentiment "Lets celebrate you". Finally used the cut out circular panel as matching tag and tied it with another white circular card stock for a personal message. For the tag I added a pouch made of vellum to the back.
