When I read the challenge I thought of a project that I saw on Sunday. It was a video tutorial on using office file folders to make a little portfolio. After murdering 2 file folders. (They were scored, cut and glued before ending up dead on my desk) So plan B. Because I work with office material I had a lot to choose from. I had recieved a package of samples awhile back. Things I didn't have a use for with my work. I kept them though thinking I will use this someday. I used a funky paper clip. You can see one of the un altered clips at the side. I covered my altered clip with blue cardstock. I glued it to the clip with Aleene's Tacky Glue. I first thought of adding a butterfly to the clip, but I had my quilling materials on my desk, so I started to quill some roses. I made a pink one and then thought... I need some red roses. After looking at the altered clip I realized that I would have to be sending this to one of my Splitcoast friends who LOVES RED... So I printed the sentiment on white cardstock. matted it with red and put it on a white cardstock base. I faux stitched around the edges. About as CAS as you can get. So to my RED loving friend... this is going in the mail to you today!
