Trumpet vine single flower

Trumpet vine flowers are very attractive to  Hummingbirds,and many types of birds like to nest in the dense foliage.  It is also known in North America as “Cow Itch Vine” because the leaves can cause a rash in some animal like cows.

The petals of the delicate flower of Campsis radicans (trumpet creeper, Hummingbird Vine or trumpet vine) form a corolla tube with five spreading lobes. A shortened calyx tube covers the base of the flower.

First I cut out each pieces to make this beautiful Trumpet vine single flower in desired color cardstock papers. I used Red, orange , and green cardstock papers.

Paper-cuts are chiefly used as decorations. I really enjoy paper crafts for several reasons. First, there are so many things I can create from a few pieces of colorful paper or card stock.  Another reason is paper crafts are economical and easy to store.  And paper crafts range from simple to complex. We can  use recycled papers, tissue papers, magazines, wrappers, envelopes and cardboard containers for  paper crafts.
