The card base is Strawberry Slush (Oh, how I will miss this color!) cardstock overlaid with three strips of narrow Old Olive ribbon.
Next up is a layer of Basic Black cardstock then a print from the Back to Black Designer Series Paper pack, which has been stamped with a stem from the Flower Patch set in Pistachio Pudding. (Isn't that black and white print somewhat reminiscent of a trellis? I rather thought so...)
For the feature on the front, I used a grouping of flowers accented with Dazzling Details or Basic Pearls and tucked in a tiny sentiment punched out with the Word Window Punch.
Stamps: Flower Shop, Petite Petals, Flower Patch, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper: Back to Black DSP; Basic Black, Strawberry Slush, Whisper White

What a beautiful card, Margaret! It definitely looks like a trellis and I love the concept. I also love the contrast of the bright colors with the black and white.
Oh wow! This card makes me happy to look at! I LOVE how the bright flowers pop against the graphic black and white background. Very attractive!
I am a huge Strawberry Slush fan, too, and I think it is awesome with black and white! I love how you stamped some leaves on the dsp. Very pretty card!
Gorgeous card Margaret - I love the spring blooms against the black and white trellis-style DSP - very modern. I will so miss Strawberry Slush!
You are right - it DOES look like a trellis and your flowers are very much at home on it. I also liked how you stamped straight onto your DSP. Bonnie was encouraging us at Convention last week to do that and explore the creative possibilities. :)
Great card! :)
The dainty flowers look fabulous in front of that bold paper! Very pretty!
