It is my turn to host the challenge over at Moving Along With The Times and I have chosen 'Vellum' or 'Parchment'. I must admit, I do struggle to use Vellum but I do participate in Parchment now and again, and this is what I have done for my creation this week. In fact I have done two for you to see.
This is a close up of the pattern and below is the grid I used to make it.
I had to prick all the holes then cut to make the tiny crosses. Then I used a very fine embossing tool to make the white bits.
Some bought flowers and some made using the Cheery Lynn Roses die with a pearl centre.
I bought this one when I went to our local craft shop with John Next Door, couldn't resist!!!!!.
CHALLENGES -----
Crafty Ribbons 75 - Anything Goes + Ribbon
Simply Create Too - Mothers Day / for a Female
This is another one that I have made and I couldn't resist showing it to you. The teddies are coloured with crayons on the front of the parchment.
CHALLENGES --
Just for Fun - Love
Just for Fun - Love
JellyPark Challenges - Lots of Love
This shows the sentiment up close and the pricking on the borders using a grid.
I hope to see your creations on the MAWTT Challenge.

Hi Wendy,
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous, so delicate and pretty. I have tried parchment before without much success so I will have to try again as I think the finished look is always stunning.

Hi Wendy. Beautiful cards. I wish I could do parchment work, sadly my arthritic hands don't let me! I used to love cross stitching but had to sop for the same reason :( Take care.
ReplyDeleteThese are so beautiful Wendy. Your designs are so pretty and delicate.

You're the only person who makes white bits look good!

Two absolutely beautiful pieces of works of art Wendy, it makes me want to go back to parchment craft. Love the changes you have made to your blog, haven't been about too much lately, so these changes might have been made a bit of a time back, but they are lovely. Hugs, Jen xx

Your card is so very pretty! I love the vellum, those flowers & how you tied your bow...gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for playing along with us @ Simply Create Too & hope to see you back again for our next challenge!!!
That is one neat technique - don't know that I've ever seen it. Such a lot of work, but very pretty results. Thanks for joining the fun at Simply Create Too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards. I love parchment and they are both well done. I just love the mauve one with the two bears. It reminds me of cross stitch. Thank you for playing along at the Just For Fun Challenge. Kay XX
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card with gorgeous ribbon!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in with the Crafty Ribbons Challenge this week!
Hugs Lynsey x
Both projects are so very pretty! Thanks for playing with us at Jellypark Friends for our Lots of Love challenge!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Both your creations are so cool. I just love the use of the parchment and the coloring on it is awesome. So glad to see you playing this week at Jellypark Friends:)
ReplyDeleteWendy, I struggle with Vellum too, and tags for some reason, I'll bet there's enough papercrafters out there we could make a club.
ReplyDeleteDespite your struggle that card is delish and the bears on the other card are too cute. Thanks for playing with us at Jellypark Friends. I'm sorry to be so late, we've already got a new challenge up, I hope you'll play in that one too.
