Gosh, your dragonfly really does go perfectly! Really pretty papers and colors. I used to love doing this fold, but didn't know it was a thing. I would lace up the edge with eyelets and ribbon. Cool!

Beautiful and feminine, I don't think I have ever had a go at quilling. I think I would get very frustrated with it. This looks fabulous though, love the lacy edge die and that gorgeous purple ribbon xx

Pia S said...

This quilled dragonfly is the perfect feature for this card, its colors work perfectly with the blooms on the paper, border and ribbon.

Sandma's Handmade Cards said...

Beautiful! I came across my quilling board the other day and it must be twenty years since I've used it. In fact I'm not even sure I'd started stamping when I bought it. Well done you, it looks lovely x

Dee's Craft Room said...

I love these book fold carda, they look amazing. You backing paper in this card is so pretty and perfectly matches the plain lavender card. Now for the bit whch made me squeal with delight the quilling. I love the look of quilling but have only tried it the once and did not really like the end result - which makes me admire those who can do it, even more.
