Craft Consortium 'Wildflower Meadow' Card, Hello, Shrew

On or two of you may remember a huge 8x8 'Hello' card that I made quite recently...

Today's card uses the negative space from that card and is another way to use up some of those offcuts of pretty papers you may have lying around...





I've scored the kraft card into four sections, slightly distressed and inked some of the edges and varied my stamping strength/the number of times I've reapplied ink to give some variation to the stamped edges on this card.



Want to see the list of Craft Consortium supplies used?

As ever, if you have any questions about how this was made all you have to do is ask...




Enjoy your weekend.

Craft Consortium 'Wildflower Meadow' Decoupage Card

I've mixed decoupage papers with cardboard toppers from the inside of the 'Wildflower Meadow' paper pad packaging and combined them with stamped, water coloured and varnished images for todays card.




Rather than glue the decoupage papers into place I've simply secured them from the back.

And I've used foam squares to add extra height to the dragonfly and grasshopper.




I wonder...  Is it easy to spot the three images I've stamped, cut and varnished?

I think it is, but just in case you're not completely sure it's the dragonfly, grasshopper and white flower that's in amongst the bunch at the top.












Let me give you a run down of the supplies I used...

All of this (and more) is available from Craft Consortium

I hope the sun is shining wherever you are today...

Craft Consortium 'Wildflower Meadow', Stamped Image, Photo Frame

 I wanted to create a simple colour wash effect on this pretty little flower...

I thought long and hard about whether or not I should add a colour wash background, or add some paint splatters...  but in the end I decided that I wanted the beauty of this simple little stamped image to be the focus.

So simple it is...


Can you see that I added dimension to the butterfly just by gluing at the centre?





This stamped image is part of a collection of stamps from the Wildflower Meadow range.





There are two other stamp sets available, as well as the most gorgeous of paper pad sets and coordinating sequins.


Why not stop by Craft Consortium and see for yourself?
