Special Christmas Card

This is the Parchment card I have made for my parents this year. I was pleased with this one when I finished it. The flowers are actually from a sheet of Vellum which I have embossed and cut around, then attached to my base parchment card. Thanks for looking.

Friday Sketchers 76

Hi,
Today I have attempted the sketch that Aud supplied for the challenge at the Friday Sketchers Blog
I have used Dovecraft Victorian Christmas papers, Image is A Stampin Up one from the set Snow Angels. I have used SU inks to colour, Ballet Blue, Bravo Burgundy and Night of Navy. Used my new Nestabilities Labels to mount the image on. Snowflake is from an old Christmas set from QVC.
Used dimensionals to raise text and main image.
Inside is quite plain, but then I don't normally bother. Trying different things. Enjoy

Parchment craft Birthday card.

This card was a nightmare to do. There was such a lot of cutting to do on it. I must say I wasn't sorry when it was finished. This was for my Sister in Law's Birthday. Needless to say this is one design I will not be repeating. I found this pattern in an issue of Parchcraft Mag. Thanks for looking. Marion

Parchment card

Here is a card I have done in Parchment Craft. I really enjoyed doing this hummingbird. Coloured with Pergamano pencils. There was quite a bit of cutwork involved in this one. I attached the parchment to the card with PM brads. The picture taking is not very good. I can never get them to look straight. Marion

Parchment craft

Here is a bookmark I have done using parchment paper and then coloured with polychromos pencils. Photo is a bit dark, I need a new camera.
Have had a lovely holiday in Scotland. Weather was brilliant and I have had a good rest. Back to work on Monday but I will only have to work till the New Year as I will be retiring then. Whoo hoo. Have a lovely weekend.

Whiff of Joy Challenge 50

It is whiff of joy challenge and it is also party time as it is now 1 year old. There is a bloghop and lots to do so it is worth going to check it out. I have done the card today and I am quite pleased with it. The sketch is by Rachel and a lovely one it is too. I have used Willow with flowers and it is coloured with Watercolour pencils and some Marvy le Plume markers. I have used SU Designer paper, Bazzil CS for base card. Flowers are from stash and Sentiment is from an old See D's set. Gems are papermania. I didn't get a very good picture but the light was changing. Hope you like it. Marion
