Here's a card I made this morning using Darnell's IDEAS program - this week D is for Dies. You can see her gorgeous inspiration HERE. I also designed my card around my friend Betty's (created by bjk) Tic-Tac-Toe board for TTTC272.
Supplies: Paper - Spellbinders A2 card;
Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Paper;
My Favorite Things Colorful Canvas (on
notify at MFT but HERE at Frantic Stamper)
Dies - Hero Arts Morning Glory Fancy Die &
Trellis Window (sold out);
Simon Says Stamp Whirl Bay Leaves;
Other - Altenew 24 Pan Watercolors; foam tape
I used the bottom horizontal row - Ink Blending, Floral/Foliage, & Enamel Dots/Sequins - as well as the bottom left to upper right diagonal row - Ink Blending, Free, Die Cuts.
First I die cut a soft blue rectangle & ink blended the bottom with green and the upper portion with blue. Added this to a white A2 card. Next I die cut the trellis and the green leaves. Then I die cut the morning glories and watercolored them with Altenew's 24 pan watercolors, then spritzed with shimmer spray. Dried with a heat tool and stacked with a plain white die cut for stability. Assembled on the card, popping up some flowers with foam tape.
I took a sentiment out of the bits box; I think it's from a Hero Studio kit but can't be sure. Since I'm doing some crafty clean-up, all my Hero Arts kits went to the satellite studio at my Dad's house to give me some breathing room. I tried tucking the sentiment among the flowers but it got a bit lost. Since I didn't have the die here to cut a shadow, I simply glued the die cut sentiment to a scrap piece of pink and fussy cut it. Shows up much better that way!
Some Altenew enamel dots finished the card. This one is going to a chorus friend who's battling breast cancer - too much of that happening within the chorus! The morning glory die, the trellis and the whirl leaves are all getting first play here so I'll also add my card to Darnell's June NBUS Challenge #75.
That's all for today, friends! Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day!!

What a great trellis. I wish the plants in my garden would grow up the trellis like this. It's a lovely card xx
I'm glad you interrupted your cleaning to create this beautiful little number, Linda! Those morning glories trailing up the trellis are wonderful!
Wonderful combination with those supplies! That's a lot to keep track of - inventory at two studios! Send some of your organizing mojo this direction! :-)
Definitely lovely. Its a real sense of accomplishment when we can put together a card from all the abandoned or extra bits we collect.
Beautiful watercolored flowers, Linda! Amazing card!
So pretty, Linda - I love morning glories!
Such pretty morning glories, Linda! I grew them on a trellis a few years ago until we relandscaped. They are so uplifting, which is exactly what your chorus friend needs right now. You are so thoughtful! And good job backing that sediment to make it more visible! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS and for using this week's I.D.E.A.S. Calendar to motivate others!📌 Hugs, Darnell
Lovely card! I know your friend will appreciate it!
Gorgeous Linda. Just love your trellis and the pretty Morning Glory flowers.
Trellises are a favorite of mine and yours is beautiful, Linda! Thanks for sharing at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge.
