Hi Everyone, Thanks so much for stopping by today, it
means a lot for me to be able to share my exciting news with you.
I was recently
contacted 'out of the blue' by a Papercraft company called Craft Consortium who
launched on to the UK market in February this year. They make the most exquisite
12x12 paper pads in superb quality in a beautiful selection of 40 double sided
papers in each pad, which include pearlescent, foiled, spot varnishing and very
elegant finishes. They also stock fantastic Decoupage papers in a superior
quality and many match their paper pads, which is a great addition for all of
us who like to do Mixed Media.
Anyway I was ecstatic to be asked to design for this
company, to showcase their amazing products. My craft projects will also be on
display at a prestigious exhibition in Frankfurt called Creative World January
2016 and over the coming months I will be making cards, 3D projects and home
decor showcasing how versatile their papers all are.
My card today is made using the Gypsy Gypsy paper pad
which has a wonderful mix of eclectic,vintage and shabby chic influences with
touches of elegance. Please check out the full paper pad HERE.
The main image was cut out from the pad and tattered at
the edges with some lace and a few staples added.
On the Gypsy Gypsy pad I found myself gathering lots of
inspiration from the paper designs. This is what influenced me in adding
doilies and die cut keys.
My stamps, butterflies and postcards are all fussy cut from the Gypsy Gypsy pad.
For all you Facebook followers please put into FB search
engine - Craft Consortium Ltd and Like their page. This way you won't miss out on
their regular giveaways.
Thanks again for stopping by, hope you have a wonderful
week creating.
