You're In My Thoughts

Good Morning

Thank you for visiting my blog today.

I was asked to make a card for someone to send to a friend who is have a difficult time.  I've seen lots of beautiful trellis cards displayed on Joanna Sheen's craft forum and decided to give one a go.

I used a lovely cream pearlescent card for the base card.  Using a glitter girls board I added the shape and then carefully cut around it.  Thin strips of the same card were used to create the trellis, and then the same shape was cut out and added on the reverse to hold the trellising in place.  The tiny flowers on the trellis were punched from pink and lilac pearlescnt paper and a glitter vellum and then layered up.  A tiny bead was added to the centre of each flower. 

The roses were made from the same papers, cut using a Marianne die.  The leaves were cut from the glittered vellum using a Marianne die, a x-cut punch and a Nellie Snellen punch.  The butterfly is also a Marianne die and 3 tiny pearls were added to the centre

On the inside of the card I added a printed insert with words requested by my customer.  On the back of the insert - so the bit that is seen through the trellis - I added a sheet of glittered vellum.

This card took many hours to create, but I thoroughly enjoyed making it and think it is a style I will be repeating.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:
