And this is another one that I love the look of. It's a variation of something I saw in "The New Concepts in Paper Quilling" by Marie Browning. The last one was the Hydrangea so since a lilac has florets, I figured I'd try one of those. And the "Y" from the Thank You just fit so perfectly.
So I used the same florets as in the Hydrangea - colored some gold parchment paper with Pan Pastels in Ultramarine Blue & Magenta, getting nice shades, and then punched out literally hundreds of them while watching TV. I then used some fun foam and a large stylus to give them the 3D look and feel. Placed them on my heavily textured off white mulberry type paper, until I was pleased with the layout. Used 4 ply waxed line thread in Olive Drab for the stems and adhered everything down. Added a metallic mix of glass seed beads in the centers of the flowers and punched out a couple leaves.
