Card with Quilling

This is the first time I joined a card swap....and it was such fun. The theme was fancy folds feminine card. I realised that getting those tricky folds is no kids play. The importance of right measurements and precise cutting has finally dawned on me. I tried to make a card with a some sophisticated folds and how I crashed. After ruining plenty of good cardstock ( yup, dumb of me not to try it first with some scrap papers) I finally gave in and decided on a simple one. I have to admit I was not happy about it. Waiting for my scoreboard and then I will try afresh !! This is the card I finally made. I hope my swap partner likes it.

A card for Mom

Lil Bees's March kit is really beautiful. I loved the soft peaches and pink of the roses. There was a total rush of ideas ....they were coming faster than I could handle!! Anyways , finally this is what I came up with.
I'm also making a few more things with this kit....such possibilities with these papers and colors. And I'm looking forward to using the rest of the goodies that come with it.

Here is the close up of the quilled flowers. These are from Alli Bartovski's new book. And have used lacy square punch - I've been waiting to make something with it all this time. This is my first project with this kit. Please let me know what you think and would love to hear suggestions too from all the lovely card makers out there.
