Can you pick the tiny quilling here? This wasn't even intended to have any quilling on it. I was making an anniversary card for my parents and accidentally left smudges in one corner. For some reason, the blotches looked like grapes to me (Rorschach test in action), so I quilled them and tried to cover up the smudges. I made them from 1.5mm antique gold metallic strips and went over the top with a copper leafing pen (the very same that left smudges in the first place). Eventually I even made a box for the card - it's got an aperture with clear acetate.

Mirror & beads for challenge
Just completed this mirror and beads for a challenge @:
Scrapbookboutique Yellow, Green & White
This theme threw me into a tropical mood.
So I made a quilled bead necklace. I pasted paper around a mirror and added a tad of quilling, spraying a coat of glossy sealer.
I used the following materials from Scrapbookboutique:
Ideal glue dispenser when you need tiny amounts
Indispensable mould for 3D quilling
Glossy glaze for the beads
Chalks for highlighting

Yet another double entry
And another card for two challenges:
Less is More B&W and hint of colour
Less is More B&W and hint of colour
and
For the Less is More team - please note the hint of colour: pink nose. I have to admit I plagiarised here - my real cat's nose is pink, so I copied it.

Cup of coffee for my dad's birthday
My father's birthday is coming up. So I quilled him this mug full of coffee bean with his initials and a sign asking him to stop & have a coffee before pushing any more buttons on his computer. He periodically messes up his computer and my husband resuscitates it. The idea is for my father to place this ornament next to his computer as reminder.
Personally, I think the coffee beans came out yummy. Oh, and I weaved quilling strips to create the coaster cover.

| Mmmmmmm, yum! |
Thank you card
I made this card for the Casual Fridays challenge:
CFC84
It's a quilled kiss, and the writing is my own using a gold leafing pen. No matter how hard I tried, I could not make the shining gold show up in the photos. Open to suggestions if anyone knows how to bring out the metallic shine in photos.
