Orange and Purple Quilled Flowers For Friend Framed

"Friends are flowers in the garden of life."

This framed piece was made as part of a birthday present. Unfortunately, the glass shattered in transit. :(

As with many others, I play around with the way it looks before. Sometimes what I originally had imagined turns out to be completely different. These things are normal. Just to give you an idea, here is the before:









I felt more comfortable with the arrangement that I settled on though, so I went with that:














Here is an up close shot. There are 5 flowers total. Quilled centers lay on top of Prima flowers. Wording is a rub-on sticker. Green leaves were also quilled.










This picture shows you how it shimmers. The inner border has some dry embossing (that I did not do) along with more shimmering frame lines.











Being creative is a process, so patience is key!!! Don't give up!
