Craft Consortium - Leather Bound #2

Hi everyone

Did you catch the fabulous Craft Consortium show on Hobbymaker TV highlighting the stunning 'Leather Bound' collection, and the 'Vintage Emporium' paper pad with Helen Kirkham. The collection is ideal for all project types especially masculine ones, journaling and mixed media. It's so versatile!

Unfortunately the card I'm sharing today wasn't shown on the show, so I'm sharing here and on social media. To create it I used the papers from both the 'Leather Bound' & Vintage Emporium' pads to make a Spring/Easter card. Most of the elements were cut using my Silhouette cutting machine and a cutting file, with the addition of a few craft dies from my stash (see below). Everything was cut out and layered up to give a mini 3d effect ideal for popping in the post. I think the papers work brilliant, giving everything so much texture without the weight and bulk of the real thing.

This collection and other collections are available from the Craft Consortium's website and good craft retailer's websites. You can also go direct to the Craft Consortium's website here and sign up for an update on any future product launches. 

This Is What I Did

I trimmed down a piece of paper from the 'Vintage Emporium paper pad to fit the front of a 5" x 7" white card blank. Next I cut out all the elements for the rabbit and box using the 'Leather Bound' paper pad. The eggs, greenery and flowers were cut out using coloured card, some using dies. Everything was layered up to create the scene. The sentiment was cut out 3 times (2 x brown card and1 x gold mirror card), glued together and added to the front of the box. To finish the card, I added natural adhesive pearls to the flowers along with a punched out butterfly.
