Splitcoast's TLC Challenge

Hello everyone....it's my turn to be the hostess for Splitcoast's TLC challenge this week and my challenge is to make a trellis!

1. Cut out an opening in a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of white cardstock with a die (Labels 11 used here and it was run through the Cuttlebug with the Dotted Swiss folder).
2. Cut 12 - 1/8" x 5" strips
3. Line the backside of the opening with double sided tape and attach six of the strips on a diagonal from left to right (I layed it on my score pal and used the lines as a guide).
4. Attach the remaining six strips from right to left, weaving the strips over and under the first set.
5. Trim excess and attach backing (Graphic 45's Loves Labyrith pattern paper used here)
6. Optional: Create a frame for the front. I used the largest Labels 11 die and the next largest size, taped them on white cardstock so they wouldn't move one inside the other, and ran them through the Cuttlebug.

The Sentiment from Verve's Blessings set, Primas, gold cording, and the leaves stamped from Studio 490's Ticket to Art set (my most favorite leaf stamp!!) finish it off.

You can make your trellis anyway you want....you don't have to use the Nestabilities....just score a trellis or use a trellis punch...use what ever you have as long as you have fun!!!
