Pixie Parchment

Good Morning All

Well it is getting very hot here in Spain, I know the Uk is having a heat wave a present too.
I am getting up earlier to take Rico out for a walk.
This morning we were going out of the door at 7.19 then I was getting in the pool at 8.20, so he had a good 8 mins walk.
I take him out at 4pm just for a pee walk in the shade then a longer walk at night as the sun goes down.
When I craft, which I am doing quite alot of while footy is on, he sits under my desk watching the world go by from the window.

Here is the card I made using the Pixie Powder background I talked about on Tuesday.
Since starting Groovi it has awakened my Parchment itch.
I have done this design afew times over the years but I enjoy it as it involves alot of pricking and snipping.
This is how it starts, followed a pattern and embossed with a fine tool.


Coloured the flowers with felt tips on the reverse.




I had a parchment butterfly so decided to add that after I took the first photo.



I bought a Groovi plate with different butterflies and use any odd pieces of parchment to make butterflies now.



Happy Crafting
