This card was inspired by a challenge on SCS some time ago. There were some very inspiring cards summited, each using a lattice. For my card I trimmed some white scraps to size. I cut two frames with an original Sizzix Frame Scallop Oval die. I wove and glued my lattice to one frame then sandwiched it with the other. I ran it thru the Cuttlebug in a Swiss Dot EF. I backed it with some pale green PP although the pattern doesn’t show here. The background was stamped with Versa Mark using Great Impressions’ Rose Background stamp then chalked lightly. The Sentiment is from Printworks, Alphabet Soup, Celebrate Life. The large leaves are Spellbinders Foliage. I made the purple organza flower added some MS greenery and a few EK Success flowers. ‘Cheap Trick’ Make your own stamp positioner. I made mine out of two layers of foam core. Until I mistakenly pitched it out I had one made our of several layers of chip board aka cereal boxes. I’ve hear of people using Lego blocks. As long as you have a right angle that is deep enough to position your stamp within that angle it should work just as well as any pricey manufactured one.
THANKS for taking the time to stop by and thank you for your lovely comments.
Have an Amazing Day!

Great card Bernie! Love that flower too and the lattice work is beautiful. Nice one about the stamp positioner - I've read about the Lego bricks idea too. I also think that I subliminally recalled your idea about the acetate to make pearl swirls patterns - oops, sorry! Di xx
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, love the lattice work, another great idea! I know a couple of people who use the lego bricks, so far I've managed without but have to agree there are times when one would have been useful!
