Craft Consortium 'Wildflower Meadow' Card, 8x8, Hello

As most of you know, I'm happiest cutting into my cards to create apertures...  or adding quirky angles that poke off the edges...  or distressing my edges and tearing into my card for that 'tatty/shabby chic' look.  

I guess one out of four isn't so bad!

But I figured that perhaps not everyone likes to add apertures or feels that confident in doing so sometimes...  so today's make that I'm showing was an experiment in taking my 'cut out' apertures idea but doing so in reverse.  

So instead of cutting out I am building up - with layers.

And I'm adding texture differently today, too.  With selective embossing and lace.

Oh...  and in case I forget to mention it later, when you see the stamped 'Hello' (below) please bear in mind that this was cut from a rectangular piece of stamped card that will feature in a future blog post.

(I'm a minimal 'craft waste' girl, I'll have you know.  And if stamping this way gives me enough for the basis of two cards then I'm a very happy bunny indeed)!

So here it is, my 8x8 experiment...

For those of you who haven't been online lately,  this is the brand new 'Wildflower Meadow' collection from Craft Consortium. 

As you can see, it's an incredibly beautiful new collection, so it should come as no surprise to you that it's currently sold out.

 But never fear, it will be back in stock on the 25th April at 8am (GMT) on Create and Craft TV.

'Bye for now.
