Swirls

I recently had a customer ask me if I could make my paper look like ice cream - with swirls. I had never tried anything like that before so it gave me a chance to play!

First I pulled some light pink sheets, then swirled in a darker shade by hand...

Not too bad...

Then I cut out a template to use to get more uniform swirls...

Then I thought, "Well hey, I have the template, let make just swirls."

I had a great time with the templates and decided to make more so now I have:

stars, Christmas trees, Christmas stockings, hearts, a butterfly, flowers and circles!!!
