Quilled Name Plate

Hi. I made this name plate on order. The color theme suggested was Red and Gold and the technique required was quilling with beehive. I have used 2 shades of red. Not sure if its visible through this picture. One of the WIP photo below shows it well. I have not incorporated too much design into this so that the names can be read clearly. I used a handmade paper from a local shop for the base. I painted it with bronze and golden paint to make the texture stand out and I really liked how it enhanced the overall look.

 A look at some work-in-progress images.



Do you see the difference in the bg color here. The bright bronze and gold makes it stand out.

This is my first attempt at a quilled name plate. Do let me know your frank feedback on this.

Edited: Thanks for your feedback friends. No, this is not my handwriting. I took a print out and traced it on paper as printing on handmade paper is not possible.

Quilled Hanging

Its getting hotter here in Mumbai and I don't feel like doing anything. Feel too lazy to post anything on my blog too. But I have lots of pending stuff to share. So here is a quilled hanging that I made some days back.
The base is actually the hard board that is inside the lid of a Muesli bottle. I covered it with PP and added a scalloped border. Then I added a sentiment which is a digi. I used the bee hive technique to make the quilled flowers and leaves. The butterfly is a sticker from Pie Lane.
A close-up of the flower.... 
I also have a good news to share with you all. I was chosen in the Top 3 at BGC#5 for my Black and White circular easel card.

Quilled heart card

Hi all. This is yet another CAS card. I have tried the bee-hive technique for the first time.
It was discovered by Susan and also illustrated by Pritesh.
Nothing much to write about the card. I have added a red papaer on the inner side to write the wordings on.
