In todays video I’m recreating a card I made during a livestream in the Craft with Dawn Lewis Facebook group last weekend. The first time through, on the livestream, it took 90 minutes to make the card, so for those who don’t have that kind of spare time to watch the replay, here it is in under 8 minutes.
And, because the card is actually quite basic, this video is less about ‘how’ I made the card, and more about the three design tips I want to share that helped me elevate this card from ‘thrown together’ to ‘put together’.
Also … yes … Evie makes an appearance.
March has been all about using what we have, and I hope you enjoyed seeing my ink pad swatches make a return appearance (seriously, I use them for everything now!).
I also went live on YouTube, making even more cards using the very same leftover pattern paper. If you’re up for a 2 hour stretch of my dulcet tones and waffling, I could be your get-it done craft companion!
