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!
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!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining the 'Less is More' challenge this week

Very clever card, love how you've attached the wire too, great colours on the inky panel, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! CAS, yes, but so striking and eye catching. Love the colours and the wire lettering. Great job!
ReplyDeleteDo 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!
ReplyDeleteWell done you for this fab card, I know how tricky that word was to make!
Thanks so much

wow this is so clever, I could never have done this. And it looks amazing on that background x
ReplyDeleteGreat use of wire - love it!
ReplyDeleteWell 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.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.

Good to see that my first idea was still done :) What a great way to use the wire on that sunny sponged circkle!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, Elaine - perfect for our challenge at Less Is More! I would never have attempted to create a word from wire but yours looks fabulous :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great job writing with wire Elaine! It never looks like that for me when I try......
ReplyDeleteI have to say you have patience Elaine! AWESOME use of wire, super CAS, striking and FANTASTIC! Love it and thanks for playing at Less is More this week. Sarah
ReplyDeleteFabulous CAS card, love the wire hello! I struggled bending mine into a hanger so I could never have attempted this!
