Grace

Morning Friends and Crafters. I am sure many of you know how much I love parchment craft. There was no way I could make samples with my own collection and not include at least one samples with it. So today I am sharing one with you. My card today also includes a selection of Groovi plates which have completed the design, it just shows that the elements in my collection will mix and match with any of your favourite crafts and styles. It might even get you to try something completely new, which would be wonderful.

You Will Need:
Dolphin Stamp Set 1
Clarity Poppy Wreath
Jayne's Agapanthus A5 Square Plate Set
Nested Squares Extension & Alphabet Plate A4
Parchment
Embossing Tool
White Stayzon Ink
Pergamano Embossing Mat
Polychromos, Pergacolours or Similar
Piercing Mat
Parchment Scissors
Dark Blue Mirror Card
Centura Pearl White Base Card
Tumble Direr Sheet

Step 1: First stamp your dolphin in place using the white Stayzon.

Step 2: Next use one of the  Christmas Groovi plates to add the sun. Add a small frame around the dolphin and the sun. The flourish around the outside frame is from Jayne's Agapanthus, use it to determine which of the larger frames you need to add. Add the next frame to give yourself enough room for the embossed dots. Then use the little berries from the 'Poppy Wreath' to add the selections of bubbles. Stamp 'Grace' in the middle of the bottom of your frame, (You will need to stamp this from the front of your work) then continue building your design.

Pierce and snip around the whole design Next add your white work and embossing, remembering to leave your work to rest inbetween. Finally colour your design from behind with your chosen colours.

Step 3: To finish you project layer your parchment onto mirror card and mount onto a Silver/White Centura Pearl card base.
