Ist go at this parchment card - which I think could be an Xmas card.  I will have another go but I need to buy some green ink to use for the outline of the stalks and leaves.  The holes should have been on a fine grid.

This is a birthday card to Storming.

Next two parchment advent pyramids

More advent calendar.

That's a total of 17 out of the 24 now done.

The bells aren't the most artistic I have ever seen but I am not doing all that grid work again.

[Carol]

That is the last 7 of the Advent Pyramids.  Just the linings and ribbons to do now.

One with lining,  bow and ribbon.

This is an Alison Yeates pattern and my first go at the Dorso technique so I chose a project with a small area to be coloured.  The edges are done with a glue pen and gold glitter left to dry for quite a while before any other workings.  The lovely backing card is from the Xmas selection from A & B the other day.

These are some of my workshop 'makes' now made into cards.







And a parchment topper that I  designed using a tracing of a poinsettia

My December RAK to ? 
This was to Dipezz (Diana)  The pattern for the Christmas Roses came from the Advent Pyramids.

A Pauline Loweth pattern.  I like the centre but made a pigs ear of the border.  It is done using the pattern for perforating and I prefer using a grid.  I have worked out that you could do it with a grid so I will next time.
I have used a lovely deep metallic pink mirri card behind the parchment.
