When I saw this gorgeous paisley themed paper I knew I wanted to cut it apart! I just had a vision of the paisley elements raised …not sure why that was but sometimes it’s just how it goes!
I decided it would work well with black too – so I added some mats of the black but for the base under the cut apart piece I inked the solid colour paper from the pack and added lots of shimmer paint splatters.
When I was adhering it all together I decided to rotate the cut apart piece and pop the sentiment in a different place from the original idea but otherwise I pretty much kept to the plan.
I added that Altenew stamped and die cut sentiment to bridge the two cut apart pieces with the same foam adhesive under the middle part to keep it level.
I also added the black gems to tie in a bit more of the black and made the card base from the solid papers in the kit. I’ve said before it’s a thick paper but not quite cardstock but I think when you add the layers on the front and inside it can function as a card base too!
I took one more piece of the cut apart paisley and mounted it on black and cut around that too to add to the inside and a wide border of the smaller print side of the paper.
I love the paper as it came so can’t wait to use it again but for now this was my first thought when I saw it and it came out perfectly!
And it got to be seen on the tv on the show 5th January. So exciting!
Happy crafting!

That’s absolutely fantastic! Love the fussy cutting on the paisley shapes!
Thanks – loved making this card – could have easily just kept it flat but cutting out, rearranging and raising it up on the foam made it special I think x
