Quilled Heart Flower

Hello and welcome!!

Here with more Valentine cards... This time I'm sharing a card using one of my favorite techniques: quilling.
First, I stamped the sentiment and the leaves and colored them with colored pencils.
Then die cut the flower vase four times, three from white cardstock and one from polka dots cardstock, and glued them together to give dimension to my flower vase.
Finally, I quilled a pink heart and glued to my card... Simple and beautiful!!

Here's my card...


Here's a closer look of the heart and the vase...

You're my Sunshine!

Hello and welcome!!

Happy New Year everyone!! I'm so excited because this is my first post of 2017, yay!!

I already sent all the January birthday cards, so now I can start making Valentine's cards, hurrah!!

Here is my card for today...




A closer look...


It's a simple one layer card. I sponged the sky with distress ink and colored the sun with colored pencils.

I was inspired by Anita's card  at Muse Card Club Challenge #198.
I used the round/ circular element as inspiration. So, for my card the sun it's the circular focal image.

This is Anita's card:
