"Happy Blooming Birthday"

Daffodil Trellis

Birthday card by GDT Aimeslee

Aimeslee joins us as Guest Designer today with her stunning birthday card featuring Daffodil Trellis🌼

 

Aimeslee created her wonderful card by printing out the Daffodil Trellis and fussy cutting it out in fine detail.  She coloured the design with Promarkers and added yellow Wink of Stella shimmer to the daffodils, touches of Magenta Stickles applied to the tiny purple flower centers and the vines coloured with a green Sakura Star Dust metallic glitter gel pen.  She layered the Daffodil Trellis onto a Altenew 3D embossing folder brick wall design done in white cardstock.  Next she used KI Memories yellow and purple card cut with Spellbinders matting basics dies to make her mat layers.  The purple lace is a fun embellishment that cleverly mirrors the grid design of the wooden trellis.  Everything was then mounted onto a white top fold card base and she completed the card with rhinestone gems and a senti banner. 

 

I love every inch of this stunning make, thanks for being our Guest Designer today Aimeslee❤️

Birthday Celebrations Blog Hop: Daffodil Trellis Pyramage Tag by Leigh!

Howzit Creative Friends!

I hope everyone is continuing to stay strong, healthy and happy as can be during this terrible time😘
I’m busy catching up on my blog hopping and loving all your fabulous makes shared so far in our Birthday Blog Hop and I’m so happy the hop is helping you stay creatively happy and busy🥰. I can’t believe we’re nearing the end of our Birthday Celebrations but don’t worry the fun will not end April 30 coz May brings us MerMay and Halloween in May, Woohoo🥳

If you’re just joining us today then here’s the scoop!
April is LeighSBDesigns Art Stamps Birthday month and I kicked off the celebrations April 1st with our Birthday Blog Hop which has a Birthday Bunny FREEBIE as my gift to you for playing and there's prizes up for grabs sponsored by Ike’s Art and LeighSBDesigns Art Stamps!  The Blog Hop is open all month long with multiple themes for you to create with so hop on over to my April 1st post for all the info and the Birthday Blog Hop Linky Party is at the bottom of that post🥳

My inspiration for today is Spring themed with a grungy vibe featuring Daffodil Trellis🌼
I had so much fun making my striking pyramage project!

Pyramage is a fun technique that involves stacking the same image multiple times in decreasing layers to create a pyramid.  I printed out Daffodil Trellis 3 times and used Stacked Tags dies by Tim Holtz to die cut out each layer.

I coloured each layer with Prismacolor Pencils and grunged them with Tea Dye Distress Ink and applied Black Soot Distress Ink to all the edges.  I mounted each tag onto heavy weight black cardstock and trimmed leaving narrow borders.  Then layered each tag on top of each other using black foam tape.  I also grunged up yellow ribbon and tucked it in between layers.

 Give the Pyramage technique a try and share in the last stretch of our Birthday Celebrations Blog Hop🥳.

Don’t have Daffodil Trellis in your collection yet then snap it up now, I’ve put my Daffodil Trellis as well as a few other designs perfect for Spring on sale until April 30🌼

Daffodil Trellis Shadow Box Tutorial by Leigh!

Howzit Creative Friends!
I've been having lots of fun creating with my new Daffodil Trellis design and today I'm excited to share this 3D paper art piece I've made consisting of lots of fussy cut layers and glorious dimension😊

I then mounted the finished piece inside a gorgeous shadow box I made using a 6" Build-A-Frame Crafter's Companion die.   LOVE these new dies!

I printed the Daffodil Trellis out 4 times and fussy cut all the elements needed to create the dimensional piece.

The first print was used for the base layer and I detail coloured all the vertical planks of the wooden trellis and base coloured the rest of the design with Copic markers.   I then used a 5 inch nesting square die to cut out the panel as well as the next 2 larger dies to cut layering mats from black and yellow cardstock.

From the 2nd print I fussy cut out the daffodils and all the horizontal trellis planks.

I then detail coloured some of the daffodil petals and all the horizontal planks.

From the 3rd and 4th prints I fussy cut out all the daffodil sections I needed as well as 2 of the daisy flowers and detail coloured them up with Copics.

I added little details and highlights to all the flowers and leaves with a white gel pen.

I then assembled the piece by adhering all the fussy cut elements onto the base panel with clear double-sided 3D foam tape.

 Now for the shadow box!  I die cut out the shadow box pieces from black cardstock and used the insert design dies to cut the patterns into the sides of the box which I then backed with yellow cardstock.  I then die cut out the decorative panels for the top of the shadow box from the same yellow cardstock.  Once assembled I applied metallic gold Pebeo wax to the entire shadow box as well as the 2 square layering mats I previously die cut which I then adhered inside the shadow box.

I then mounted the Daffodil Trellis piece inside the shadow box with 3D pop dots to add even more yummy dimension.

I designed the Daffodil Trellis with a diamond format but it looks stunning displayed as a square too!

Daffodil Trellis is currently available at LeighSBDesigns Etsy Boutique for a special intro price good thru March 27!
