My Art Day Project - Modern Quilling

On Saturday, August 22, our combined team of consultants, the Super Sassy Swappers, will get together in Cumberland, WI, to share new techniques with each other. We have Art Day 3 times a year, to coincide with the new Idea Book releases. We have a fantastic time bonding, snacking, and creating! This event is exclusive to consultants, if you would like to come to Art Day join my team!

The technique I’m sharing this time is quilling. Intead of the usual scrolling that you see in quilling I chose to create a flower. With this technique you can make a perfectly matched flower embellishment for your project. They are very easy to create!
