Wired ...

When I saw the challenge for this week at "Less is More" my immediate thoughts were 'no way'!  You see the theme is to include wire in your design ... I was fairly certain that I didn't have any! ... and so the search began.  I found some and then realised that was the least of my problems ... what on earth was I going to do with it now I'd found some!

Well I had an idea (just the one!) and here it is:



I took the wire and fashioned it into "hello".  I die cut a circle, ink blended some distress ink added the sentiment and popped it onto the card with some foam adhesive to add dimension. And that was that!!

Enjoy!

  1. Oh, I say Elaine! What a perfect CAS card! I had exactly the same thought process as you when I learnt it was wire at LIM this week. But you have made a magnificent card!
    Thanks so much for joining the 'Less is More' challenge this week

  4. Do you know Elaine, I had the very same notion... I spotted hello written on a stamp and thought it would be good to do in wire... I was doing so well until the wire snapped and I gave up!
    Well done you for this fab card, I know how tricky that word was to make!
    Thanks so much

  8. Well Elaine, I bet all of us were stumped by this challenge but that is the fun of it, to figure out what to do with it. I love your fabulous card, the way you bent that wire to form the word is amazing. Love the beautiful color of the circle too.
    Thank you for sharing.
