Is it possible? Yeppers. Yesterday I really got in to stencilling with quilling. I love to bring other things to the party and see what happens, and this is one thing I did.
I wanted the stencil (done with Pebbles cream chalk) to be the main feature so I used a pastel parchment quilling paper in a light green. Just a touch of quilling. Five tight circles under the pearls for the center and left it at that. It's often difficult for me and others I know to stop at the right moment. Less is more and all that. I wanted this to look delicate and think I achieved that.
I have another hibiscus-themed tag but it's still very much a work in progress so that's for later.
On the advice of a very good friend, I decided to do two things this weekend. First, I really need to take stock of all the tags I've done so far, print pictures and put them in an album. Then, I need to document how each was made so I won't have to reinvent the wheel if someone wants a particular design. I also need to seriously think ahead to the fall and winter holiday season. It's 100 degrees and 99% humidity so it's hard to think of Christmas but we all know how fast it sneaks up on us.
This is all going to make for a very busy weekend. I guess I can mix some housework in there somewhere.....
Cheers!
