Sheep and lambs always remind me of Spring, and I decided to use some bright, warm, sunshiny background colours to make this design into an Easter card.
First I quilled the daffodils (to complement the smaller picture), and then I added a little border motif in three colours to go under the flock of sheep.
The idea for this motif pattern actually came from studying the strap of my wrist watch. Take a closer look, and you'll see a repeating pattern comprising marquise, eye and curved triangle shapes. I wanted to see if this would translate into quilling, and I think it's worked OK. Maybe there's potential here for a longer border piece?
I love how you grab ideas from just about anything you see around you. How clever to get inspiration from your watch.
ReplyDeleteLove the card and sheep remind me of spring also.
Isn't that great how we find quilling design inspiration in the most unlikely places?! Love how you recreated your watchband. I didn't realize sheep move along quickly... had always imagined it to be an slow, annoying plod, based on Hugh Grant movies. :)
ReplyDeleteI like how you got the idea of border from your watch, your good!
ReplyDeleteI should have called this one "See how they run"! More sheep cards coming soon ...
ReplyDeleteVery nice card.
