Quilled Card Features the Material Girl

Recognize this wild paper gal?

I laughed out loud when I came across the quilled card by Sandy Diaz in her Etsy store, Sweet Spot Card Shop. Since Sandy's husband is an avid Madonna fan, she created it with him in mind. I love the way she managed to capture Madonna's attitude with bits of rolled and folded paper.

I asked Sandy how she happened to start quilling and she said she had an awesome art teacher in junior high who made it a point to teach new techniques every day - quilling was one of them. "We just used construction paper, but I created a snowflake and remember thinking I had created something really cool. It stayed with me."

After Sandy's twins were born, she turned to quilling as a stress reliever. "I love the fact that quilling is becoming more modernized, but my favorite part is that I can start and finish a card within the same day. Although lately I've been eyeing ideas that can potentially take much longer. We'll see what happens."
