Dhin Chak #2

OMG.. Had to go through it again.. forgot the max 5 challenge rule for ICR so now made another one to participate...

I ventured into something new now.. Made my first joy fold card.. This is by far my favorite so far.. I think there are a lot of possibilities with this card and can be manipulated to suit our purposes..

Well I can ramble unendlessly so without further ado.. here is the card..

I tried to make it as Dhin Chak as I could.. The bold card stock.. The colours.. The butterflies...

This card is actually cased on the one made at Daydreams by Suganthi.. She is one awesome quiller.. I could just pull off the colours and a part of the style.. I need to drop in a mail to ask her how she shaped her flowers.. You can check the cased card here...

The colours also take inspiration from the following image...

The supplies used in the card

This was my first quilling project, The Lilypad Frog Pond.. The base is made of  2 old CDs ( I believe in reusing and recycling) which have been glued together. I then cut out a light blue coloured paper in the shape of the pond slightly larger than the original size of the CDs. This project help me understand all the basic shapes of quilling especially the lose coil.. I made hundreds of them I think.

The edges are made of brown quilling strips of two shapes pinched into squares and the water has three shades of blue.

Three frogs of varying sizes and the beautiful butterfly and dragonfly.

The pop-up lily of Martha Stewart Punch and the small flowers floating on the water are the Flower cluster from Punch Bunch.
