I have a very quick and easy card to share with you today that is a different take on Bibiana’s trellis cards. Rather than cutting strips to make the trellis I have made this card using the fabulous Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Barn Wood Fence Honey Cuts to make the trellis. I then make some dianthus using the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Dianthus Honey Cuts and added the chickadee from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Winter Birds Honey Cuts. I finished off the card with a sentiment from Pink Fresh Studios – Wonderful Sentiments. This was so quick and easy to do and looked gorgeous.

My Project

For my project I cut a piece of white cardstock 11″ x 4 1/4 out of white cardstock and then scored at 5 1/2″ along the long side and folded the card in half. I then die cut the fence out of white cardstock and used this as a guide to trim the front of the card to fit the gate. The gate was then adhere at the top to the card front flap. I finished the gate by adding the crossbars to the gate.

The flowers were die cut from white cardstock and coloured with Pink Diamond ink and assembled according to the instructions that came with the die set. I die cut the leaves and base of the flowers out of green cardstock and added some Mowed Lawn ink for some more depth to the leaves. The flowers and extra leaves were then assembled.

I die cut the bird out of light grey, black and white cardstocks. I added some Lemon Whip and Sunshine inks to the main body of the bird before assembling it according to the instructions with the die set. I then played around with the placement of the flowers and bird before using some Press and Seal to then add to the front of the card.

To finish the card I stamped the sentiment from the Pink Fresh Studios – Wonderful Sentiments in Obsidian Pigment ink and die cut it with the coordinating die and adhered it to the front of the card as shown.
