Postcard “Butterfly on a flower”

The art of quilling is gaining more and more popularity, especially its interesting and complex version - linear quilling, that is, creating a picture from straight or slightly curled strips of paper. Today we will get acquainted with this technique and make a beautiful summer card.
Materials:
1. White frame for crafts.
2. Quilling paper: white, light and bright yellow, orange, burgundy, red, green, blue and light blue.
3. Tool for twisting paper.
4. PVA glue.
5. Brush.
6. Scissors.



To begin, we will draw the outline of our blue flower. We make sketches with a pencil and glue paper strips of the corresponding color onto them, twisting them a little at the outer edge. We supplement the shape with other lines to make petals.




Use green paper to create a stem and a couple of curls. From light yellow stripes we make small tight spirals - the middle of the flower.



The next step is to fill the free space inside each petal with open blue spirals.



Let's move on to the butterfly. We outline its outline (wings, body and antennae) using the lines of red stripes.



We decorate her wings with yellow, orange and burgundy spirals. You can choose any pattern.




Finally, you need to cut small yellow strips and place them inside the wing along the outer edge in the remaining space. Our colorful painting is ready!
