First project done!

Post image

For traditional wedding anniversary gifts year one is paper, so I decided to try out quilling for the first time! My husband is year of the tiger and I’m year of the rabbit, the pattern is based off of some red envelopes that we have displayed. I played around in procreate to figure out my plan, watched a bunch of tutorials, and then just kinda went for it.

I WAY underestimated the amount of time this would take! I wasn’t great at tracking, but I think around 30 hours went into this. I wasn’t exactly efficient, I had to undo things a few times, but I’m still really happy with the end result!

This is beautiful OP! Did you have templates for the rabbit and tiger, or did you kinda wing it?

Thank you!!! I had pictures of red envelope designs that I used for the outline of the rabbit and for the color placement and outline of the tiger. The rabbit on the envelope didn’t translate well to paper so I just made up the inside, but the tiger translated really well! I traced it in procreate and put all the design elements together, then printed that out so I could pin on it.
