Parchment the Sweet Stamps Way!!

Morning/ Afternoon/ Evening thank you for stopping by and taking a peek at my craftiness and for all the comments you leave. I will be around to visit you all soon..

Over on Sweet Stamps we start a brand new challenge and the theme for this week is "Parchment" To see a tutorial from the totally fabulous Stacey (Owner of Sweet Stamps) on the easy way to parchment Click HERE

Please do go and check out the challenge blog and enter into the challenge for a chance to win a $20 spending spree in the Sweet Stamps store.

I had such fun making this card, they say "A change is as good as a rest" and this worked for me! I was starting to lose my mojo and at first struggled with what I was going to create for my project. When I started I didn't have an end result in mind, this card just seemed to create it self as I went along.

For the frame I used the Cheery Lynn XL Coved Rectangle Stackers, Using the biggest die and the next size down nesting them inside each other and die cut. You end up with a perfect frame with which to hide your glue strips.

Here is a close up of the parchment (please be gentle) I haven't done much parchment work before and this is only the third time so its not perfect.. but I like it.lol I used Polychromos pencils and sandor to colour with on the backside which gave a gorgeous softness to the flowers.

Parchment or Vellum, You decide.....Challenge #5

Good morning, and welcome to another challenge from Sweet Stamps

Thank you for all your entries for our Flower challenge I so enjoyed coming to visit your blogs, my what a talented bunch of crafter's you all are.

Lets get on with our challenge for this week.. Stacey the owner of Sweet Stamps is a fantastic Parchment crafter (see her video tutorial of how Here)

If I'm honest it wasn't something that I would have said I would enjoy... but I so enjoyed doing this challenge and it was easier than I imagined and that was down to using Sweet Stamps,white ink and a little clear embossing powder, just stamp and go.. lol. None of the fuss of tracing your image out , then going over it in white pen etc etc and I believe you could use just about any stamp.

On the Sweet stamps blog is a slide show of some of the different stamps you could use and how versatile this art form can be.

You can decided to use either parchment or vellum the choice is yours, so don't worry if parchment is not your thing you can still enter.

Click on the Sweet stamps image to enter..

Now onto my card. This is my first attempt at parchment, I wanted to add a touch of colour but didn't feel that confident, but I think it turned out OK leaving it plain...

I have 3 D the butterfly and stamp and embossed a frame I quite like the effect that it gives through the ribbon.. The sentiment is computer generated then I have used crackle paint over the top then used distressing inks to get that wonderful effect.
