It's time again for another Just Add Ink Challenge and this week Delys thought it would be fun to make a "Pop Up" card. To be honest, l was a little freaked at the thought of this, having never made anything remotely close to a Pop-Up card before, but l guess that's why it's called a challenge....:0)
After some deliberation l finally decided to use my Stippled Blossoms set (yes, again) and after much searching and looking at Pop Up options, l kept to fairly simple and easy to construct version and it really was!
Sorry about the wonky pearl top right, l hadn't noticed it until just now. It was perfectly aligned to begin with, but my thumb must have nudged it when l picked it up to photograph it...:0) Don't you just hate that!
I totally guessed my measurements as l went and pretty much built it all around my Lattice Die cut. The little crimped panel at the top, is an add on to give the appearance of an "old Lattice Porch"...another Gran moment, as it did remind me of her and what she referred to as the "Fernery", it was full of gorgeous old terracotta pots with Maiden hair ferns and Stag ferns on the walls, with lovely old rambling pink roses poking through the Lattice.
I hope you enjoy stopping by each of the Design Teams Blogs to see their fantastic "Pop-Up" variations and feel inspired to join in the fun.

This is gorgeous Nikki. I love the beautiful colours on the flower and I agree that lattice and flower image does have a nostalgic impact. Great pop up card!

Oh, wow, Nikki! There was no hint of what was going to be inside, and it is delightful. Beautiful work, my friend.
ReplyDeleteOh Nikki this is soooooo beautiful! Stippled Blossoms is my favourite flower stamp and as far as I'm concerned keep using it - I'm loving what you're doing with it! Love the lattice pop up! I have to admit I was glad pop-ups wasn't my week as I've never done one either!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card & fabulous pop-up, Nikki! It definitely evokes memories of Grandma's back porch & greenhouse, with all her splendid blooms. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. ♥ :)
ReplyDeleteThis card is gorgeous. I've just bought this stamp set, because one of my class ladies wants to play with two step stamping stamps. And we are also going to focus on "flowers" in the next class. I would love to CASE this card for my class - the ladies are going to love it.!!!!!
