Craft Consortium, Ink Drops, Christmas Box

I've stepped way out of my colour palette 'comfort zone' today to bring you a design that has, at its base, the most beautiful of new papers from Craft Consortium...  


Simply entitled 'Ink Drops', these papers come in their usual 6x6 or 12x12 format and are available in two colour tones - Vivid and Dusk. 







My design here today takes two papers from the Dusk/Ink Drop collection and pairs them alongside some Metal Textures paper elements, plus a deer that's actually from the Vintage Emporium collection (I've used a white acrylic paint whitewash to mute the colour so that only a hint of the text comes through)...  all on the pinkest of pink shiny boxes!




If you haven't had a chance to view the new Ink Drops papers I wholeheartedly suggest you head on over for a quick look here.


They really are very pretty indeed!




Hope you are keeping safe and well.

I'm in my usual 'I hate Winter' mode!

Stay warm!

Craft Consortium, Woodland, Junk Journal/Scrapbook

My project today features just a few of the many papers, toppers and charms you will find in the new Woodland collection - designed by Clare Therese in conjunction with Craft Consortium.


I'm not sure whether to call this a 'junk journal' or a scrapbook as it really combines both ideas...






 
















The inner pockets and front cover also include a piece of paper from the Essentials/Dark Grunge collection...  




And the pages themselves?

Cut from my vast supply of brown paper packaging.



You may notice that the tree topper has a distressed look to it.  This is easily achievable with just a light sanding.





Thank you so much for stopping by.

Don't forget the project launch is due today on the Create and Craft Channel at 12 noon (GMT)!
