Sorry I'm late, this is my card for this weeks Teapot Tuesday challenge MMTPT162. This week we are making Birthday cards to send to Eula for her 109th Birthday! She sounds like an amzing woman.
We were supposed to bring something beautiful to us. I do love flowers, and colour but my card today represents my love of crafting. I had some little white strips left from another project and they made me think of the faux trellis I have wanted to try, and my SU stamps don't get inked up nearly enough, so this is my first flower trellis! I hope Eula likes it!
The card base is black, with a layer of daffodil delight embossed with the vintage wallpaper EF.
I stamped the image from SU Elements of Style, 2 times and coloured with copics. The image and the frame were made with the octagon nesties. Then I cut some of the flowers from the 2nd piece and popped them up with dimensionals.
The sentiment is from the Silhouette Sentiments set, punched out with the MS tag. I thought I was done, finishing it off with some black taffeta ribbon & micro brads, but decided it needed a bit of glitter, so I added that too!

What a gorgeous card for Eula. My first thoughts upon seeing it....how cheery, feminine and beautiful. This is sure to bring her b'day cheer. Love the trellis you created for your wonderful roses.

Laurie,
Your card is beautiful and elegant. I love the Elements of Style set - it's quite versatile. Your trellis turned out perfect and is a wonderful backdrop for the beautiful flowers. I love how you've popped up some of the roses!!

Laurie, you've taken my breath away with this one. How simply stunning. I love the colors - so rich and yet soft. The popped up flowers gives it so much dimension. And I love the window and trellis effect that you created. Speaking of creativity, thank you for sharing yours with Miss Eula.
