Quotation stand with a different touch

While working with different card stocks for my different projects, few cut-outs remain from the full-sized paper sheets. Using three such small card stock left-outs another quotation stand is ready today.

I have colored them with acrylic paints or added some effect with distressing ink or dry brush technique. The cardstocks are assembled on a white cardboard paper and the background is again created with three different distressing ink from Tim Holtz.

The quilled flowers used in this assembly is mostly my all time favorite Malaysian flowers and couple of composite flowers are also used on the quote area. One can put any customized quote or their favorite quotes based on specific theme or occasion. The leaves are created with basic marquise shape units combined in different composite shapes.

The birds used on the project are ready-made wooden embellishments with color effect created with distressing again, to match with the rest of the theme in this project.

Here come the pictures. The quilled flowers and leaves are assembled on a real stem cut-out  which is first dried and on which acrylic brown and black are painted thereafter.

Quilled Quotation stands

Here comes a set of quotation stands

The wooden plaques are small ready-made MDF cut-outs which are available in any stationary store or can be ordered online from Nupurcreatives.
The quotes are written using Bo-Bunny clear stamps and Tim Holtz distress ink (better to use Memento Stamping ink) all of which are available from The crafts shop.
The background coloring effect is created by using distress ink pads.

The rest of the craft is a 3D quilled assembly of different floral and leaves patterns using different rolling and bending techniques of Paper Quilling.

The overall project is created on simple A4 card-stocks which are again available in colored sets in any stationary stores like Itsy Bitsy (available also online) and also can be ordered from Nupurcreatives.

The quilling strips are bought from different sources which are from Shilpi brand (http://www.craftuniverse.com/ ), and Dimensionscrafts (http://www.dimensionscrafts.co.in/store_quilling.htm ).

With a nice wooden box framing the quotation stands can be a nice gift for friends and can be customized as well depending on occasion and different themes,

One more idea with creating quotation stand with quilling work can be working with mini canvases. These mini canvases are available in stationery stores like Itsy Bitsy and Hobby Ideas or any local store. I have bought them from Hobby Ideas, Bangalore. This work is a couple of years old and was made upon order from a client. The quotations can be customized in the black space provided with acrylic colors, stamping ink or can just be simply hand-written with colored inks.
