Quilling Bouqet String Art Card

Hello,

I have had this card inside me forever and finally I sat down and created it.


I wanted to see how it will look with the twisted mini roses.  I used the same color card stocks but I like the first one better.  May be it had something to do with the bow and the pearls.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

RAK From Monica

Hello Bloggers!

I normally don't post on  Sunday but I wanted to share what came in the mail the other day all the way from Indonesia! RAK from Monica.

Here are the individual picture.

These are handmade papers.  They are shimmery. Pretty aren't they?
Look at those embroidery! 

This one here is pure raw silk.
 This one here is pure silk.
 This one here is hand embroidery chiffon.
And last but not least handmade paisleys and flowers.

The card that came with the items.


I don't think I will use any of these.  I can't cut them into pieces.   I wanted to keep them for as long as possible (lol).  Thank you SO MUCH Monica for sharing these wonderful items with me.   Now I have something unique and special in my craft collections.   This blog thing kept on getting better and better!

Monica made cards and sold them for charities.  She is very good with using natural materials on her cards.  The world need more people like her.  Do stop by MONICA'S BLOG and give her some blog love.

Thanks again Monica!

Hugs,
Helen

MoJo #191

Hello Bloggers!

This layout was from  Mojo Monday #191.  The Flourish was from PTI called Fancy Flourish.  I glued the mounting piece before I added the ribbon so I added a piece of card stock instead.  The flowers were all made by me.

 So I had to make another one.

Thanks for looking. 

Have a great weekend!

Red and Black Quilled Pendant

Good Morning,
I made this pendant last year and I just finished putting the string on.

Can you believe I had this pendant in front of me for almost one year.  It was collecting dust.  I still need to add the hook on the back.  It was so hard to fine the black jewelry supplies or may be I didn't look hard enough.


Anyway, thanks again for stopping by.  I appreciate your comments.  Love reading them.

Bliss Note Cards

Hello,
I saw this card on SCS and just love it!

I made three different colors and I like them all. But the first one the bow is a bit over whelming.  I used a 1 1/4" ribbon from SU.  It didn't show in the picture. The card stocks were shimmery very pretty.  The post office would love this one.


Then I made this black and white with a smaller bow.
And this one.

Flowers, Flowers, and more Flowers

Hello,
About two weeks ago I spent all my free time making these flowers.  These flowers were made using Tim Holtz Tattered Florals.  I used the same instruction like I did  HERE except for these roses I made the center a little different.  There lots of flowers tutorials on Youtube.



 These are lace flowers.  I cut about 6" of lace.  I didn't learn it from here but I couldn't fine the video that I learned from. 

These are the ribbons roses  that I learned long ago and a few twisted circle flowers.

Thanks for taking a peak!  Have a wonderful weekend!
