In honor of those who serve, I am offering this little beauty to one you lucky folks who comment on this heart.
Some background on this piece... I am very intrigued by the work of Yulia Brodskaya and decided to play around a little. I actually started with a birthday cake that I will share with you on another day, but I am going to share with you today my Red, White, and Blue Heart in honor of Independence Day!
Note that all these pictures are of the same heart... I simply placed it on different backgrounds :-)
I went old school with this project, I pulled out my heart stencils and cut 3 hearts in increasing sizes. You guessed it the hearts are red, white and blue (I know, sometimes that creativity is scary - lol)... I glued them together and then started to add my paper pieces. I hesitate to call this quilling exactly, but it is definitely paper filigree work...
I hope that you enjoy this heart and this inspires you to try something new today too :-)
I would like to offer this quilled heart - on your choice of background - to someone who posts a comment on this post. I will leave this giveaway open until the end of July. I will announce the winner on July 31st.

Antonella, what a beautiful piece of modern quilling! I really like the fluidity of the paper curls.
I also like the new background theme for your blog, and the adorable owl graduation card. You have indeed been busy lately.
