Cherry Blossoms and Chinese Lanterns

The following card was inspired by this sketch for the Tuesday Morning Sketches.

This is my card:

For the image I hand embroidered a chinese lantern pattern I bought recently from Stitching Cards. The instructions are easy to follow and with some patience they always come out beautifully.

Then I quilled a cherry blossom branch and flowers in soft pinks to match the flowers in the chinese lantern.
 

It tooks me about 4 hours to make this card but I believe it was well worth it. Hope you enjoy!
