For my Bella Creations design team work on the Tres Chic challlenge example for May, I created a Tri Shutter Card. The Tres Chic challenge is a style challenge. May brings us the Plain and Simple style.
I incorporated the elements required for the challenge--ceramic flowers, metal embellie, ribbon, and the colors black, green, red, and cream. I also added a KaiserCraft wood cage which DD2 gave me for my birthday. She was quite generous with her gift so I have lots of these that you'll be seeing them in future projects. The paper line is DCWV Mariposa, including the fussy cut butterfly on the cage. I added two Sutdio112 butterfly stickers.
This is my very first attempt at a 3-D type of card. I knew I bought that MS scorepad for a reason!
