SO THRILLED TO RECEIVE THIS

I am so thrilled to share this beautiful card with you all.

One of my new blogging friends - Caroljane very kindly sent it to me after commenting on her wonderful blog.
Carol is one of the DT members for Ooh-la-la and her blog is full of beautiful parchment designs.
Do check it out.

This is one of the cards shown on Create & Craft which was their 1st LIVE Show
The image is from their Shoes in Bloom CD.

It has pride of place in my workroom and she inspired me to start parchment crafting again.

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE

Another week has gone by so time again for this weeks challenge from
CD SUNDAY which is
LOOKS LIKE SUMMER

Our DT's have created beautiful cards again and above is my creation for this week.

For my card I chose to use the fabulous - Shoes in Bloom CD

I think this particular CD is lovely when printed onto Parchment Paper

RECIPE

Pearlised Card from Penniesworth
White Parchment Paper
Beautiful image & background papers from Shoes in Bloom CD

I chose two of the matching papers along with this beautiful topper to make my card.
The topper has been printed onto White Parchment to which I added a lace border using a 2 Needle Tool.
To compliment the shoes I have worked a lovely pattern using a 4 needle tool, embossing in between the perforations before cutting into crosses with my Pergamano Scissors. I think this is one of my favourite patterns and easy for a beginner to follow.
This has been attached to pearlised card with butterfly brads from my stash.
I made a diagonal cut as I wanted to show both sets of the paper and then attached the topper onto half of the card only.

Do pop over and look at the fabulous cards from the Design Team this week.

We hope we have inspired you to join in with us and look forward to seeing your work
