Sakura Heart

Sakura-sleeve-01_02_10775a5251 This week's SplitCoast Stampers Inspiration Challenge comes from a German store Tadenberg.  Bea & Carsten make it their business to embellish the ordinary in an extraordinary matter.  They combine beauty with practicality … it doesn't get much better than that. 

My card is inspired by this fabulous Sakura Gardens iPhone Sleeve.  I loved the fun combination of color and patterns together with the look of hand quilting, so that is what I tried to capture in my design.

I started by going through my designer paper scrap bin and pulling out every piece of pink paper I could find.  Next I cut them into 3/4" strips.  I cut a scrap piece of paper slightly larger than my card front & started paper quilting.

Since several of the papers were from valentine's collections, I decided to go with a heart-themed sentiment from Crescendoh's Ordinary Sparkling Sentiments by Christine Mason Miller.

I finished the design with some hearts punched from scraps of the background papers and a few crystal hearts.
