Quilling tools are pretty essential as are tweezers! I filled each letter with varying sizes, shapes and colors of quilled shapes. I then added another outline of crimped paper in a lighter pink around each letter. Leave to dry. I then stamped the text at the bottom of the card 'a lifetime of love' in a light pink ink.
Meanwhile I made a series of quilled scrolls, double scrolls, coils and heart shapes in various shades of pink. I just let these flow naturally underneath the text and a little above on the right. This takes some playing around with but you just have to let each piece 'grow' from the next, that's the best way I can describe it. I glued each of these in place. To finish I added a few diamontes here and there for a little sparkle.
Quilling does take time and patience but the results are rewarding. Have a go at adding some quilled elements to your cards. You might just become addicted like I have!
