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!

Yay another challenge(s)

So with Christmas getting ever so closer, it looks like everyone is doing winter/christmas themed challenges. I've already been pumping out a ton of Christmas Cards that family and friends have asked me to make so this one was rather easy to come up with something.

So what I did was make an easel card with penguins! I used torn white card stock to make the snow mounds and quilled the penguins and snowman. You can barely see it in the pictures but there are snowflakes embossed along the bottom where the stamped image is. Hope you enjoy it!

Here are a few other pictures.

Wedding Card

OMG OMG! That is all I've been able to say since I've made this card. Alot of cards I've made, I've been very proud of how they came out, but this one.. I just love it.

This card is a 5x5 black card with gold/black and white/gold patterned paper as ascents. The Congratulations sentiment is printed on pearlized cream colored paper.



The digi stamp of the kissing couple is from The Greeting Farm. I colored it in with color pencils and then surrounded the image with pink and white roses. The larger roses are Prima inspired, handmade roses and the smaller ones are quilled roses.

I hope you enjoy this one!
