This is valentine card that I made for my friend. Actually me and my friend Shabarish Gupta, both contributed to the card. He made it for her friend who presented it to her boyfriend.

Initially we just cut out the heart from the card stock and cut out a bigger heart from the handmade paper I have to glue it to the inside of the card. Then we glued a strip to the outline of the card. We made quilled open heart from different colored strips we have and glued it to the handmade paper surface.
Here's my experiment with punched flowers and quilling. For this card I used a printed card stock, a handmade paper, punched out flowers, quilled heart and some swirls. Even though the card is small, the output looks great. It's one of the most beautiful card I had made.
I loved this card very much.

On valentine day's occasion my friend had asked me to hand it over to his fiance. She loved the card too.
I had a very old printed greeting card with a beautiful pic of tulips. I had it cut and placed in the below card stock. I also used a ribbon and 2 quilled heart to make it a valentine card. I have added 2 punched out flowers.
This is card is very very simple and there is very less quilling, so I have decided to renovate in with some more quilling; but not now. I would do it in some of spare time.
For now, I am uploading the pic of it as it looks now.
New year 2011 was approaching and I was thinking what to make for the new year. And then I thought of experimenting with quilled letters. And thus I decided to quill 2011. Though the experiment was not the best but still I and my family like it very much.
I have also framed it now; haven't clicked a pic of it. Would upload it sometime later.
I started the card on 31 Dec. 2010 and finished after midnight i.e. on 2011 New Year.
This is my first experiment with quilling feet. I have overlapped one foot above the other, thus, most of my friends when saw it first, they couldn't recognize what it is. However, once I told them its one foot above another, they immediately recognized it.
It's a very small card and can be termed as a gift tag.

I hope you like the gift tag.
Here's a collage of all the different angles of the card.
This too is a small card and can be called as a gift tag. I like the yellow flower very much. When I look at it, it gives me so much energy. May be it's the effect of the color. The vibrant color strap is nothing but colored strips cut into small pieces and glued side-by-side.

This is a simple card I made to experiment with the glossy pattern paper. I like the flower. It gives me the feeling of 'Mughal-e-Azam' time. This card is a very small card. You may call it a gift tag actually.

This again was another experiment of mine for vintage look. I love the flower in this card. This is a small card and people who saw this card personally have loved the card but asked me to make this card a bit bigger. They too loved the flower in it. I call this flower as 'the Heart flower'.
This again is a fringed flower card. But this time my experiment was to bring a vintage look to my card. I succeeded a bit by bringing that look in the new year wish background. I was able to cut out the heart nicely and put the quilling strip border to it. I love the pink color fringed flowers with the purple center of it. The leaves are punched out. I used a crimped strips for the threads coming out from the top of the heart. Do you like the tiny heart cut out from the pink pattern paper I have? I love the tiny cut out.
I am very much in love with the double fringed flower, where in you cut the petals at an angle. I got the idea and explanation to make this flower from Inna's blog and this was my first experiment. I was awestruck when the result came so beautifully. Friends whom I showed the card were impressed by the flower.
Those were the days when I uses a broken needle to practice Quilling and used cut 3mm paper strips with knife on a glass surface... Amazing days those were!!
I simply love this card of mine... I hope you like the card too!! *sigh* *excited*
