Last week a friend loaned me The Greetery’s Botanic-cut: Morning Glories. I had a lot of fun ink blending the flowers and assembling them. I ended up making three sets of them, and die cut a couple more from white for later. I chose the purple ones for today’s card knowing that would work for the Double D Color Challenge. You can use one of more of the colors in the Inspiration Board.
I also decided to give the trellis card design a try. I originally saw it on Bibi Cameron’s blog, but since then several card makers have used the design as well. Everyone’s is just a bit different.
Cutting the strips off the card front is the first challenge. I used five as shown in Bibi’s blog, but I think next time I’d try four instead.
Luckily, I had a die cut sentiment from Pinkfresh Studio’s Farm Fresh stamp and die set which fit on the top section perfectly. Most of the cards I’ve seen elsewhere have stamped their sentiments on one or more of the slats on the trellis. Although I didn’t photograph the card standing up, it does stand up easily and looks great.
In addition to the Double D Challenge, I’m sending this on the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes, and to the Triple B Challenge: Birds, Butterflies and Blooms where using their Inspiration Board is totally optional as long as you use 1-3 birds, butterflies and blooms. It’s my first time playing along with the Triple B Challenge and I opted not to use the Inspiration Board this time around.
Oh such a pretty card. I like your version of the trellis. I like the sentiment.
Hello Karen, I still have not tried this type of card, and I love it so much. You have inspired me to try it. I love the simple display of the flower. Thanks for linking up with us at Double D Challenge. I hope to see you again.
Stunningly beautiful!! It fits our Double D color challenge too!!
Thank you for joining our challenge at Triple B!

Beautiful card with those purple flowers. Love the trellis design. I have made a couple of them and they are really easy to do. I also saw it on Bibi’s blog.
