As you may remember, I made several quilled sunflowers, and this is another one from that series.

This sunflower card has a more rustic, country-inspired feel, and I think it is one of my favorites. I used kraft cardstock, patterned paper with polka dots and checks, and lots of distressed details to give the whole composition a warm, slightly vintage character.
This is a paper quilling inspiration project, showing how different papers, textures and shading techniques can completely change the character of a quilled flower card.

Podziwiam za cierpliwość, bo na obraz może by mi się chciało tak bawić, ale na kartkę... Nie jestem pewna ;) Piękny słonecznik, liście i ogólnie wszystko. Distressy też lubię, ale w sumie dopiero je lepiej poznaję, bo na razie stosuję może na 2-3 sposoby, a jest tyle zastosowań :) Wspaniały efekt końcowy
ReplyDeleteJeszcze do niej wróciłam i nadal podziwiam za dobór kolorystyki, przeszycia, postarzanie - fantastyczna :)
DeleteAgnieszko, bardzo Ci dziękuję za miłe słowa :) Niezmierni miło czytać takie komentarze od koleżanki :)
DeleteShading was an awesome idea Kate! The flowers look life-like :)
ReplyDeletePritesh, thank you a lot! I started with tearing the background and thought that the card should be a little bit "oldy" like real country house, hence around it, orchard. So distressing was obligatory for this purpouse:)
DeletePiękne :)
ReplyDeleteBardzo dziękuję! :)
Deletepiękne kolory, jak żywe, pozdrawiam
ReplyDeleteDziękuję, Elu!
DeletePiękna kartka, postarzenia dodały uroku :)
ReplyDeleteDziękuję, Izo! Też myślę, że quilling a tuszowanie ładnie się kombinują ze sobą :)
DeleteДуже гарно, як завжди!
ReplyDeleteДуже дякую! Приємно читати коментарі від постійних гостей :)
DeleteChabry są obłędne, słonecznik oczywiście też, ale chabry po prostu uwielbiam z natury, a Tobie wyszły jak żywe. Przepiękne kolory i przecudowna kartka
ReplyDeletebardzo pięknie dziękuję!!! Też lubię chabry :) Dlatego całkiem sporo można znaleźć na moim blogu :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ..Yes I agree with you shading has increased the beauty of flowers !! loved the rustic look n colors.
ReplyDeleteVery, very beautiful, Kate! I must say that shading the petals was a great idea, especially on the sunflower. Makes me think of a really hot summer day. I also prefer the rustic look and I can't wait to see what you will make with the other sunflowers!
ReplyDeleteHugs! <3
To ja może dodam: pięknie!!! :)
