Hello! A couple of weeks ago, I saw a card and a how-to on Splitcoast Stampers to create a trellis. You can see it here. In that post, you will find the link to the card I saw. Anyway, I thought it was something I must try! I pretty much created my lattice opening with their instructions by using a labels die and strips of paper behind. Their instructions said to cut strips into 1/8" wide, but I believe mine are more like 1/4". They had done theirs in white, so I never thought about maybe I should think about what color I wanted, I just did it. Then, after I got my lattice panel done, and was trying to decide what paper I wanted behind the lattice, I realized the white maybe wasn't the best option. The white was very stark for a lot of my floral paper options. I finally decided the one I liked the best was another sheet from one of the My Minds Eye pads which I have been using like crazy. I added a bold butterfly stamp, some embellishments and it was done. Here it is ... enjoy!
You know maybe, I would have liked the other floral papers peeking through more if I would have made my strips slimmer and maybe less of them. The way it is, as I layed the panel over my floral papers, larger flowers just seemed to get lost. These are definite ideas to try next time. I do want to say though, the end result for this card, I like. What do you think?
