The ivy leaves are shaped coils that are glued onto a green fabric wrapped floral wire with quilled spirals. Then I bent the piece of wire with the leaves on it in a zig-zag fashion to resemble trailing ivy. Several sections of ivy were made and adhered from on the top and handle, trailing down one side. Next I took that same floral wire and made a coiled cone for the base of the wisteria flowers.
Using a lavender shade of quilling strips (from a previous kit) I joined two and three tear drop shapes together and used these as the individual blossoms. Starting at the bottom of the coil of wire I attached these "blossoms", layering upward and adding single teardrops where needed to fill in. Since the base is a coil of wire you can gently shape the flower by pressing or pulling in the area needed to achieve the desired shape of wisteria drape.
The leaves of the wisteria use the lighter green strips in the kit and were made by crimping the strip before quilling and shaped into a marquise. A small strip of light green was used as the main stem with one marquise glued to the end and four along the sides. The crimping gives these leave the real look of wisteria leaves. I used my favorite punched flower accent in pearlescent lavender, a three color fringe flower and soft yellow bow to finish. Look around and see what you can embellish with quilling and link your project in the comments section below, I'd love to see what you create!
Back tomorrow with another quilled project! I've been busy today and created another card that I will share later this week. Until then,
Shalom,
