Think this parchment card was a tad ambitious. Can't seem to emboss well in straight lines.  Bit like my sewing - was never good at that in straight lines.

A CC pattern.  Not as difficult to do as I thought but I would like to do it again.  There is a border pattern but I couldn't make sense of the scale of it so  I  did my own scallops.   I also wonder what this would look like using coloured parchment.

A friend and I had a mini craft session yesterday and I started  this one and finished it off this morning.

My parchment card November RAK for Leicester Sue.  I can post this now I know she has received it.  I loved making this card.

This is my Birthday card for Ellie (well you wouldn't have known unless I had said).  I have tried to do it as  she makes cards.  Just sticking nice bits on.  The flower under the '5' has all it's petals.  One had just slipped round.

These are the two  toppers I  made with the HM stamps at class last night. I still have to put them on a card.

The last of the three painted at the lesson.  Just added a bit of glitter to the stockings. The tutor embossed a bit of music background card using  one of those cuttlebug things.  So I will post it again when I have finished it properly.

Today's craft class








Not a lot got done this session.  Chats about parchment craft and gossip.

A birthday card for my SIL who prefers very plain and simple.  Although this is very uncomplicated I think it is quite striking.  JS CD

This was stamped with stazon on to vellum and painted using  very dry pale watercolours.  This is the first time I have used paint on vellum and I was pleased with the result.

These are the three tiles I made at the workshop using shimmer embossing powders and and stamps

The patterns for these come from the Parchment Magazine and are by Alison Yeates.  The first 3 of 24 Advent tree decorations.  I think they will be for next year as each one takes a while.  They have a coloured lining with a ribbon to hang on the tree.

A commission card for a lady who will be 80 next month.  The lady likes silver and white and real silver.  I have used a kaleidoscope I did some time ago of my silver charm bracelet as a matt together with silver holographic card from A & B.  The image and the striped background are from Ooh La La Passion for Fashion.  The silver is hard to see but the 80 is on the bow.  Her name on the image and Happy Birthday at the bottom.
