Springtime and Climbing Clematis

On By celestelindIn Crafting

I wish I lived somewhere Clematis would grow! I think it needs much cooler weather than Florida. I’m entering this in the Four Seasons Spring challenge for May.

I love this pretty image from the Heartfelt Creations Climbing Clematis collections. There is a lot of cutting and pasting going on here, tho!

I took one of their card panels, and cut out the center image, then went to a different page, and cut the same size circle of the fence. I glued that where the original picture was. Then I die cut the birdies and the birdhouse straight from the paper pack (can you say time saver!!) popped up the birdhouse with foam tape, as well as the little birdie on top of the fence post.

I used one of their large square dies to get the lace overlay, stamped, colored, shaped (yada yada) the clematis and used hot glue to adhere, I also used a dollop of hot glue -waited 5 seconds, and then put the other little birdie on. The white pearl things are from the bridal section of a local craft store.

The inside is a couple of leftovers – the arch from the same collection, and the pink lacy door, from the Gateway dies. No sentiment, as this is one of the 100 cards I gift to a local nursing home – so the nurses will write something sweet for their residents.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
