Peace Card Step by Step Tutorial

Tutorial one by Farrah Ali:
1. As the theme for swap was "Peace" so I chose green color for base of my card. I layered it with white card stock. I used threader punch to.make wholes on one side.of my card.
2. I took smallest size of beige ribbon and passed it through the punched slots.
3. I used orange and red quilling strips and made loose coils with orange and tear drops with red.
4.Then I joined 2 teardrops to make little hearts. I cut out red butterflies for the lay out.
5. I stamped the words love, joy and peace at equal distances.
6. I attached the hearts and circles between the words. attached the butterfly on upper corner and a coordinating flowers on opposite lower corner and my card is ready.
