Flowers on a Trellis

I started to play along with today"s
Inspiration Challenge and Steph had a link to the virtual stamp night weekend...soo...
this is the card it inspired me to make.

 

I had fun making my own trellis.

First I cut a rectangle out of a piece of embossed cardstock.

Then I made a frame to fit over the opening.

To make the trellis all I did was turn the paper over (so I could work from the wrong side)

and glue thin strips that I had cut .

To make the gluing go easier first I  drew pencil lines diagonally

 from corner to corner.

 

To finish I added die cut swirley leaves ( from Cheery Lynn Dies)

and flowers from Michael's ( the ones that come in a cute bottle).

Add some pearls and a tiny sentiment and pop the whole thing up on the card front.

 

I didn't like just seeing plain white behind the trellis,

so I sponged some blue...way too bright ..so ...

I glued a piece of vellum over it.  Much better!

Hope you like it!

 

Oh, yes..Gracie helped!

She likes her perch... she can look out the window  or down at me without moving!
