sheets medium green
- 3 mm quilling paper – 3 sheets gold-edged cream

Instructions for Making the Card
Take the tracing paper and place it atop the diagram. Align the
top left of the tracing paper with that of the diagram. With a sharp
pencil, trace the diagram. Next, open the card mount face up and
tape it on the cutting board to keep it steady.
Place the tracing paper over the right fold, aligning the top
left with the top left of the crease. Retrace the drawing with the
help of a hard pencil or an embossing tool. The idea is to indent
the face of the card with the design. After removing the tracing,
cut along the out line of the design with the help of a sharp knife.
Now place the slip-sheet inside the card and draw along the shaped
edge. Once done, remove it from the card, and cut through to form
the shape.
Next, take the gold paper, crimp it, and stick it around the
outer edge of the indented heart. Now take the yellow paper, crimp
it, and glue it over all the edges of the face of the card, except
the part of the heart already covered by the gold paper. Next, you
may crimp the medium green paper, curl it not so tight, and follow
the indented lines. Glue them on the card. Take the brown paper and
treat it similarly.
On the red paper, draw 15 circles using a coin.
Starting from the edge, cut each circle into a spiral going towards
the center, as shown in the above picture. With the help of the
quilling tool, starting from the cut edge, start rolling, and glue
the end. You have just created rose flower centers. Next, stick each
rose-flower center onto a small piece of paper.
Paper-punch 90 holes in the red sheet for fifteen
roses. These circles will form the petals of the roses. Stick six
circles around each spiraled rose-flower center. You will use up all
the 90 circles on the 15 roses. When the glue dries cut off the
paper in the background.
Take the pale green paper and divide the three
strips into five pieces each to form 15 leaves. Form a loose coil,
and stick the end with glue. When dry, pinch both the ends to form
shape of the leaf, as shown above.
Now, take the cream paper, with the help of the
quilling tool wind tightly rolled pegs, and glue the end. Use
different lengths of paper to vary the size of the pegs. You may
make three pegs from 8 cm lengths, three from 6 cm lengths, and
three each from 4.5 cm and 3 cm lengths.
Using the above technique, form more tight pegs from
the purple paper. Divide each strip into 8 pieces, and make 66 tight
pegs. From the yellow paper, make 11 pegs. Glue six purple pegs
around each yellow peg to form eleven forget-me-nots.
Referring to the main picture, place all the roses,
leaves, etc. and glue them properly.
