Today, I decided to create a quilled holly leaf for a Christmas card - but instead of making it with the usual pinched green coil, I started with an open shape as an outline that could then be filled in with other shapes.
As you can see, I'm on a bit of a crimping kick at the moment - I think that shapes made out of crimped strips definitely have an extra bit of character when you want to do something different.
So ... not a conventional Christmas card by any means, but hopefully an eye-catching one!
I love it! Next to poinsettias, I think holly gives you that winter season and holidays feel. Crimping makes it fun. And I really love it that you are thinking out of the box. That makes it all the more artistic and special!

ReplyDeleteIt sure s is an eye catching one Philippa, Crimped effect is really good.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I'm glad you all liked this one - it's a bit unconventional as a Christmas card design, but I think it's nice to do something really different every now and then. I shall keep on crimping!!
