Valentine's Day Special Quilled Heart Card



Hello!
I love quilling and love to make quilled jewellery. I never tried quilled card or any other quilled project. But for this Valentine’s Day I thought to surprise my husband with my first ever attempt at quilled card. There are many gorgeous cards you can find whose intricate designs can make you bewildered. I often wondered how much time and effort goes into one card and was afraid to attempt such a project. But finally I conquered my fear and attempted one. After all, you can do anything for the person you love.
It is also my entry for the Indian Quilling Challenge Group’s Challenge No.13 ‘Anything goes with  heart’. It took me 6 hours to complete this one (as it’s my first project). I didn’t do any sketch over the card stock. I just took the quilling strips and glued it as I wished. My idea was to have two hearts joined together. But slowly as I was proceeding got some idea about how to fill the hearts and what else can be done to decorate the card. The result was satisfying and I think I should try more of these cards or wall arts. What say friends?
