Tuesday Alchemy #10 Spring Sweetness Mother's Day Quilled Lattice Card

Hi everyone and good evening!

I am very happy to announce that I will be joining the Tuesday Alchemy design team! It is my first time doing anything like this, so I am excited to be a part of something that further shares my love for crafting! Tuesday Alchemy invites all types of crafters to join in on the fun! A new challenge is posted every Tuesday, hence, Tuesday Alchemy. This week's theme is "Spring Sweetness," so head on over and show everyone your beautiful creations in the spirit of spring! EVERYONE IS WELCOME!!!

So what I have created for challenge #10 is a quilled lattice card for mother's day.

This card might possibly integrate most of the things I have at home. lol You've got the quilling, embellishments, glitter, dry embossing, die cuts, stamping, foam dots...wow...I didn't realize how many things I had to do to this card until now. You just don't think about it when you're on a roll I guess. :D

Last but not least, a huge thanks goes out to the ladies of Tuesday Alchemy for the warm welcome! :)

Tomorrow I'm going to see Rachael Ray!!! I will let you know how that goes. :) In the meantime, I hope to see you over at Tuesday Alchemy!

J & B Initial Framed Quilling

This project was requested by my friend for displaying purposes at her wedding back in Oct last year. It was actually the 2nd thing I've framed. I ran into trouble making this one because I was in the middle of moving. I tried to keep it safe, but in the middle of moving it was dropped (with weight on top of it) and of course the already made parts were a bit crushed. You can tell from the pictures that there was damage, but I tried my best to smooth it out as best as I can. You might wonder why I didn't redo it. The wedding was about a month away when it was messed up during the move. We had a great deal to unpack because we buy things for our apts like we own the place and are settling, so I expected to not be able to put in much time into it between then and the wedding.

This reddish-purple color scheme is based on the colors they chose for their wedding invitations. It was very hard to take a picture of this because I used a pearlescent cardstock as the backing.

I had to use a lot of straight pin needles to complete this project. lol

Adding more pieces. You can see how the purplish paper doesn't stay straight.

Originally I wanted to put this rose in there, but changed my mind because it didn't go with the flow of the other types of flowers (shown below).
