Pink Picture Frame Card Quilling Flowers Pink/Periwinkle

Hello from upstate NY--long overdue post!

We're only halfway through moving...and by that I mean that our stuff is in storage and we live in temporary housing. Hopefully for not more than another 2 weeks! I'm getting a little cabin fever here. :O

Below is a picture frame card that I made 2 days ago. I had a hard time finding a place to photograph in this small room, but there you have it...a window ledge!

This picture is about 3 years old of Dimma and I. We were much skinnier in those days. :D 

I have some pink in there to match the background and I'd like to call the other color periwinkle, but I'm not sure if that's correctly identified. :P There's some glitter on the leaves as well. 

Hope you're all having a wonderful Thursday!

Large Teal Flower All Occasion Card

Good morning all! Another Tuesday and another week at Tuesday Alchemy! This week you can choose any color OR colors to use from magenta, olive, and teal--I chose teal! This card wasn't directed toward anything in particular, so I will leave it as an all occasion card. Large flower center is comprised of 2 smaller flowers and a rhinestone. It may be a little hard to see, but the larger diameter consists of 2 layers of varying shades of blue. 

This week's fabulous sponsors are Di's Digi Downloads and Broken Box Designs. Play along for a chance at winning prizes!

It's a rainy week here in NYC. Hope it's beautiful wherever you are to make up for this weather!

Easter Post -- Orange Flowers on Gray Card

Wishing you and yours a Happy Easter! 

I made a card based on the colors provided from 365 Cards Day 37's Color Scheme:

This card is good for all occasions. I can picture it being used for sending someone good wishes.

 I tried to get the colors as close to those provided as possible. What do you think?

 I can't decide whether this card looks better landscape or portrait, so I put up pictures of both orientations.

 I actually think the colors work very well together.

This is the interior.

Here are the envelopes that go with it:

Finally, this is the box that I made for the cards to sit happily in!

Okay, off to do some food shopping for the upcoming week. Have a great day!

Love of My Life Quilled Card

It was a beautiful 58 degrees on Saturday which is really rare in New York City. I took the opportunity to go for a long walk at the park. What did you do this weekend? I wish all winters were this warm--then we'd all be in lovely moods all the time! I even saw daffodils growing in yards already!

This week there is another Etsy workshop on drawing in Brooklyn. I am pretty excited! It was a lot of fun last time and this time I am looking forward to learning something new!

Today I want to introduce my window card. I have a lot of pictures for this card because I was getting really excited about the details of it!

The way this card is, you really need to be careful where you write the message on the inside otherwise it will show through (I have done that before, oops!). To help you make sure you don't do that, all you need to do is write your message on the space around the vellum paper (see last image for interior of card to see what I mean).

I added extra puffed ink to make the swirls pop at the tips. It is an extremely raised background!

I will be entering this card for Day 3 - Pretty In Pink at 365 Cards and Sketch 155 at Card Patterns.

Quilled Sunflowers in a Vase Card

Hello! Today I am trying the sketch challenge on 365 Cards for the first time! This is a quilled sunflowers in a vase card. The vase is something I came up with while husking on my quilling board. The largest sunflower is embellished with rhinestones. 

Here is the layout that was featured:
