Good Morning Peeps, is it raining in your neck of the woods, it's been pouring here and the wind's blowing a gale, whatever happened to Spring ?
I have a couple of shares both along the same lines. One of the great things about being on a design team is that you see so much inspiration on your rounds and last week I was totally blown away by Hussena's beautiful card which was one of my Allsorts Top 5 entries. I was itching to try out the lattice technique so mailed Hussaina to ask if I could case her card and she gave me her blessing, so I must thank her for the inspiration for the two cards in this post.
After cutting the aperture the thin strips of card......I used linen cardstock.........were stuck to the reverse and mounted onto foam tabs to raise the front element. The flowers on the top card are paper pieced using the lovely Lily stamp are from A Passion for Stamps (direct link below), die cut leaves, swirls and butterfly and little wire swirls.

My second card is made in exactly the same way, but this time I tried using a piece of DP behind the lattice panel and made roses from coordinating DP and the leaves were lightly inked whilst still in the die.
Have a good day whatever you have planned and thanks so much for dropping by.

Fantastic cards! :)
these are both beautiful, Brenda! I had a few sheets of lattice card from when I very first starting crafting - think I've still got a few left - wonder which box they're in!!!
They are sooo beautiful. The lattice worl is lovely - not sure I'd have the patience for that - but then I'm wouldn't have the patience (or skill) for most of the stuff you do.
Hope the weather improves down there. Rain overnight here but sun shining.Too wet to garden though so will make a couple of essential cards.

Really stunning creations Brenda.

Wow they are both stunning, Luv Sam x
I had already noticed the gorgeous lattice card in your top 5 and love your versions, too. I think I prefer the first of your two cards, although I love the flowers on the second. We've had a wonderful Greek Easter weekend, with lots of sunshine. We were able to spend two days outside in the sun. On Easter Sunday, Greek families are celebrating with lamb on the spit, but we had a nice BBQ (without any lamb) with some English and Dutch friends.
beautyful card!!! very very nice all!!!!!hugs Enrica

Hi Brenda, love these cards, that lattice is gorgeous and such pretty colours. Hugs, Frea
Oh wow, wow, wow these are just stunning Brenda x
Just beautiful.. i love the lattice work

The first is my favourite of these - the colours & that astoundingly shaped butterfly. The colours remind me of the pale Wedgewood pastelly colours though I don't think they ever used these exact shades - it's the pastelly nature & sort of chalky deliciousness that you created.
Those patterned paper flowers in the second are gorgeously shaped too & it's great seeing a comparison of the two lattice styles, with/without patterning behind.

Gorgeous cards. I love the lattice work.

Stunning cards Brenda. My favourite is the first one. What a lovely technique. I must pop over to Hussena's blog for a look.
The weather was so wet and windy this morning that Max refused to go for a walk. Blue wasn't bothered but his lordship dug his paws in! In the afternoon it was lovely and sunny and when I took the boys out after work you could feel some warmth in the sun.
Take care,
Kat xx
wow; these are both gorgeous brenda! lovely techniques, colours and flowers.
Hi Brenda, both cards are lovely. The lattice work is great and the flowers, so pretty. Take care, Linda x
Gorgeous cards Brenda, love the inspiration. I bought the leaf dies at Harrogate and put them away unused and forgot about them must get them out to play. Back to films, yes l do love GWTW my other 2 favs are the original B&W Wuthering Heights with L O and also love Dr Zhivago . x Take care x Susan x
WOW Brenda these cards are just gorgeous, so elegant.. I can see why you had to have a go !! I think Spring has definitely gone into hiding - still excuse enough to stay in the warm and craft !! Esther xx
The first is my favorite, love the colors, flowers and butterfly. But the second is quite pretty too. No wonder you wanted to CASE the idea, it's a winner!
