Hey Everyone,
Toay I'm sharing a project I made using spare envelopes by giving them a makeover.
caution: Picture Heavy Post
Here are the pics:
Yes, it's a Utility Wall Hanging made out of three spare envelopes. I have taken a few step-by-step pictures so that it's easier to understand the process.
The base paper is a red coloured handmade fiber paper that I have been hoarding since long and now got a chance to put it to good use . I love it's texture. Covered the rear side using a black card stock. I forgot to take the pictures of the rear side, will try to take it soon and upload it.
The peacock and the swirls are quilled using 3 mm quilling strips.
The spiral roses are also quilled using a white paper from a drawing book. After trying out many types of roses, I settled with spiral ones becauseI failed miserably at all my rose making attempts they turned out really good finally. Phew!! :P What do you think ? :D
Stamped the chevron texture stamp randomly for some grungy look.Finally decorated and embellished with some pearls and rhinestones
And this is why I call it Utility Wall Hanging :D
