To Make The Card:Trace the horseshoe shape from the

diagram, you can add a tiny mark at the point of each heart to help with posi-tioning them later. Transfer the horseshoeand heart marks to the white paper andcut out the horseshoe. This will be usedas a base for the quilled shapes.

For the hearts use 3mm paper as follows. Cut36 x 2cm and 7 x 1.5cm strips of red. Cut 36 x 2cmand 7 x 1.5cmstrips of white.Fold in halfand wind eachend into thecentre to formthe heart. Thesmaller onesare used around the lower inside curve where itis more of a squeeze.

Make a little puddle of P.V.A. on some scrappaper, pick up a white heart with the tweezers,dip in the glue and stick to the horseshoe, thisshould be with the point inwards and starting atthe left arm on the top right corner, the curvesof the heart should be just level with the edge of

the paper horseshoe. Add a red heart to the leftof this one, then add a white at a bit of an angleto get around the corner.

Continue working all the way around theshape alternating the colours as you go andkeeping the curves of the hearts to the edge of the paper. Use the slightly smaller heartswhere necessary as you work around the curveof the horseshoe.

Make 8 red and 8 white roses using fulllengths of 5mm paper, see diagram on facingpage. Place one end of the paper in the quillingtool and wind round for 4 or 5 turns then foldthe quilling paper down at a right angle. Windround a little further bringing the paper back upto horizontal as you do so. Fold the paper downagain and repeat until the rose looks a good size,cut off any excess paper and glue the end.

Punch 18 leaves from the palegreen paper and glue one behindeach of the roses. Place two red roses at the bottom of the horseshoe one either side of centre, glue into place and gluethe extra leaves under andtowards the centre. Position theother roses up each side begin-ning with a white then a red etc.Once you have them evenlyspaced, remove each one in turn and glue into place.

Make 6 more red and 6 morewhite roses in the same way asbefore. Make 2 more each of thered and white roses but stopwhen they measure just 6 to7mm in diameter.

Punch 4 green leaves from the light green paper and glueone in each corner of the whitepearl panel placing the top leafto the corner in each case. Glue a red rose to the top left and bot-tom right corners over the leafand a white rose in theopposite two corners.Glue a pair of contrast-ing roses by each ofthese corner roses.

Cut a 3cm length ofgreen quilling paperand curve to a gentle s shape, glue the topbetween the roses in the top left corner sothe length flows downthe side. Make a mirrorimage on the top right corner. Cut a single leaffrom a punched set and glue to the bottom of oneof the small roses, repeat for the other three. Glue

these beside the flowing lengths, 2 each sideplacing a red then a white on the left cornerand a white then a red on the right.

Roll a tight peg from a 5cm length of red andone from white and glue the red one at the endof the flowing stem on the left and the white onthe right side.

Cut 2 x 2cm lengths of green paper, roll each end to form a scroll shape and glue thesealong the top edge of the panel beside the roseon each side.

Make 4 more of these scrolls and glue eitherside of the bottom rose clusters.

Cut the white ribbon in half, glue one half toeach side of the horseshoe and tie the two tomake a nice bow. Glue the bow to the card panel

by the knot so thehorseshoe hangs free.

Use the letteringstickers to add a mes-sage of your choice in the centre of thehorseshoe and thenglue the whole panelcentrally onto the cardmount.
