Cherry blossom - Work in progress

It`s March 26, my tulips wait to blossom... yet everywhere you look it`s just SNOW. I usualy take the weather exactly the way it is, without complaining, only that what`s enough it`s enough. Where are you SPRING?

Here is my little cherry tree, work in progress, as nothing is glued together. I only arranged them to see how everything looks. I thought you have to see it :)

 

E 26 martie si lalelele asteapta in gradina sa infloreasca. Totusi, peste tot in jur este numai ZAPADA. De obicei iau vremea asa cum este ea, fara sa ma plang, numai ca uneori ce e destul e destul. Unde esti tu PRIMAVARA?

Iata aici copacelul meu cu flori de cires, pe masura ce lucrez la el. Nimic nu este lipit, le-am aranjat doar sa vad cum arata si am zis ca sa vi-l arat si voua :)

Hugs,
Anca

Cherry blossom, again

The same background like the one used for the snowdrops... but some cherry blossom this time. I couldn`t help myself... sorry if I am boring but I believe these posts match together.

And here is a green background. This is a stamp from Tim Holtz, quite expensive in my opinion but one of my favourite stamps.

I believe stamps fill a card and make quilling look better. I mean less quilling because when you put much quilling on a card you won`t need stamps or other embelishements, but that for sure would be an expensive card considering the time...

Have a great spring,
Anca

Cherry blossom (wedding)

Salutare tuturor! Se pare ca se respira mult quilling in aceste vremuri din moment ce multe dintre voi creati flori si felicitari si brose pentru martisor. La fel e si cu mine.
Pentru azi am ales o felicitare cu flori de cires (poate fi si invitatie de nunta). Ador culorile si floricele acestea mici - stiu ca stiti asta deja.
Hello there! It seems quilling is in the air all around since many of you make flowers and cards and broches for the first of March. Same for me.
For today I decided to post this cherry blossom card (or wedding invitation). I love the colors and those little flowers - I know you already know this.

Many hugs and lot of orders,
Multe imbratisari si multe comenzi pentru noi,
Anca

For somenone special

This is a quick post, I decided to show this album for which I used three little quilled flowers. Love their shape even if being so small and tight are not so fast.
Pentru azi un post scurt in care am hotarat sa va arat acest album pentru care am folosit trei floricele quilling. Ador aceasta forma, acest tip de floare chiar daca din cauza ca sunt asa de mici si de stranse imi ia mai mult timp sa le fac.

Albumul e pentru o fetita de 10 ani foarte speciala (ati ghicit! Sandra), culoarea ei preferata e rosul, asa ca mi-a fost usor sa aleg culorile. Albumul e cu poze din cei doi ani pe care Sandra i-a petrecut la Zana Buna - centrul de care m-am ocupat eu.
The album is for a very special 10 years old little girl (of course! Sandra), her favourite color being red it wasn`t too hard for me to choose the colors I used. The album contains pictures from the two years that Sandra spent with us at Good Fairy - the after-school and summer centre I worked at.

Albumul ii apartine acum. Am facut pozele pe fuga, inainte de a plecam inspre familia ei si nu sunt chiar cele mai grozave...
The album belongs to her now. I took the pictures in a hurry before we leave so they are not the best...

Have a wonderful week,
Va doresc o saptaman minunata,
Anca

Pay it forward

Do you remember my cherry blossom card (here it is) and the contest I won? Well a few weeks ago Oana sent the gifts. I wanted to make something for her, as a pay it forward game (by the way, I love that movie!). So here is my work for her.

I decided to make something that looks like the card so I made an entire cherry blossom tree. I also have one for me and I intention to make 3 more ”quilling paintings” for the rest of the seasons.

The flowers are made of 2 mm paper strips and are painted with pink acrylic.

Yesterday Oana received the gift, she wrote so beautiful words about me and the joy she felt.

Now, I know that Oana loves the painting, I wish you like it too.
May you have a wonderful spring,
Anca

Love&Good luck

I have soo many to tell you! Remember the special contest with the Turquoise Spring theme? I am the winner at the cards section with my beautiful Cherry blossom! Thank you for your votes! They were gifts of love :)

I was soo happy when I found out! Here are the gifts Oana prepared for me.

Now, something else! I made Top 3 at Stampin Sisters in Christ. And because I had many things to do last week I didn`t have the time to check the challenges I entered my cards to. So, now I found out thanks to Antonella.
This is the Top3 card.

This Challenge #77 Top3 is a huge surprise for me because I consider myself a beginner, far away from the girls who make scrapbooking in such a professional way. But, I begin to understand that the love I put into my work comes back and brings more love.

Now, the new entry, a clover card for which I used some new children stamps I found at a local store.

I enter this card to:
- scrappyfrogschallenge challenge where the theme is Good Luck!
- papercutzchallenge where the challenge is St. Patrick
- ceschallenges where the challenge is St. Patrick/Good Luck
- cinspirations with a beautiful challenge: In the garden

Va spuneam in urma cu cateva zile despre concursul Primavara turquoise organizat de Oana pe blogul ei.
A few days ago I told you about a special contest - Turquoise spring hosted by Oana on her blog.

Eu am participat la categoria felicitari cu tehnica quilling si azi s-a dat drumul la votare asa ca pot sa va arat felicitarea pe care am pregatit-o.
Se numeste Floare de cires.
I'm competing at the cards section, with the quilling technique. You can vote now so I can show you the card I've made. It`s named Cherry blossom.

I want to enter this card to fairyknoll challenge Think Spring. My post is quite old, but maybe the girls will accept it because it suits perfect!

Oana a surprins foarte bine gandurile mele ”Povestea unei preafrumoase fete si a florilor de cires, povestea unei primaveri vesnice.”
Oana surprised very well my thoughts "The story of a very beautiful girl and the cherry blossoms, the story of a neverending spring".

Am lucrat cu foarte multa placere la aceasta felicitare, mult mai multe ore decat la cele pe care le fac de obicei, m-am simtit inspirata si sunt incantata de ce a iesit.
I worked with so much pleasure to this card, many more hours than I worked at the others, I felt inspired and I`m delighted with the result.
