Pastel Quilled Shadow Box: Framed Floral Art & Botanical Quote

The joy in flowers is the remainder of Paradise in us" – this beautiful quote by Philip Otto Runge

The message itself ring completely true for any flower lover. There is a timeless, quiet magic in botanical art that instantly brings warmth into any space.

To complement the delicate typography, I designed a cascading floral arrangement in a soft pastel palette—blushing pinks, creamy beiges, and fresh mint green. The focal point is a multi-layered pink blossom created with open-loop husking techniques, surrounded by textured beige pom-pom flowers and pearl-topped tight cone buds. Sweeping mint green vines made of open marquise coils frame the text, creating a balanced diagonal flow across the design. Encased in a deep white shadow box frame, the three-dimensional paper layers cast soft shadows that bring the piece to life.

How do you like to incorporate inspirational sayings or botanical quotes into your paper art? Whether framed as a meaningful gift for someone special or displayed as a daily reminder in your home studio, there is something so rewarding about bringing words to life with paper. I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! If you're looking for project ideas or want to save this pastel palette for your next crafting session, be sure to pin this post. Happy quilling!
