Hanukkah Card

This is a very quick Hanukkah card. I have used a shimmer navy blue and shimmer gold card stock. The Star of David die is from CheeryLyn and the Menorah die from Spellbinders. I have added little red dazzles behind the flames

Black and White Butterfly Mask

I saw this digi on Make It Crafty and it just screamed to be made in parchment. I have done it in black and white. The image is the Butterfly Mask from the Masquerade Masks set. I took the image and opened it in Paint Shop Pro, duplicated it 3 times and arranged them as a frame. Printed the final image onto parchment paper and did some embossing  cutting and colouring.

Power Poppy Inspiration

Today's post was inspired from a blog I follow called Power Poppy. The tutorial was how to make a Fold over Box. I followed the very good directions and came up with my version. I also made some Christmas Crackers to put inside it, tho you can put cards and envelopes in as well.
It didn't take very long to make the box. The crackers I made using my 1,2,3 Punch Board, following a tutorial from You Tube. The stamped topper is from Heartfelt Creations, I am not sure if it is still available.
Thank you Allison Cope from Power Poppy

No Card Parchment

Been doing some parching the last few days. The first project is a small one piece fan designed by June Owen. This is great as a topper for a card or even as a tag for a gift. The front is done on plain parchment with punched 3D flowers and pearl centres, I have backed the fan onto some blue card and tied some gold thread around the bottom.

The second project took a bit longer and was designed by Mary Kerr. It is a parchment napkin or paper serviette holder. I have used a couple of different grids for the embossing and lace work. The insert is  patterned rose vellum. I have also put some punched flowers on the front and back. I had to play around with the inside to keep the vellum and parchment upright. This was a great project and has so many possibilities.

21st Birthday Card

My youngest daughter turns 21 this week and all her life she has identified with the Little Mermaid, so I thought her card should reflect her dreams. I have used 3 different mermaid images from a toddler, a young girl and of course a young woman. I have coloured all three with Promarkers and used dies and other bits and bobs for the finishing touches.

No Line Colouring

For today's post I pulled out my Polychomas pencils and worked on parchment paper over a rubber stamp. I wanted the effect of a line free image and used the pencils to layer and shade. Here are 2 cards I have made. The first is an old favourite my PSX Hibiscus stamp.

The second card is an image I found so printed it off and using the same technique coloured it.

For both cards I added some Parchment work.
