Faux Parchment

I loved making this card, as soon as I saw the folder, I thought of Parchment and Lace. It's a superb design and the detail is so perfect throughout. I still can't believe what a stunning result these new 3D embossing folders from Crafters Companion give, here I have used Ornate Lace. You really have to see it in real life to appreciate their beauty.

Sadly I have lost the photos, I wanted to share with you to accompany my step by step so I will just have to explain as simply as possible. Please do get in touch if you want to ask anything about it.

Step 1: Take  a sheet of Sheena Stamping Card, larger than the folder, Ink the folder with Archival Cornflower Blue ink and run through the machine, this forms the inside of the design.

Step 2: Repeat step 1, making sure you have between 1/2 and 1'' extra card on each side. This will enable you to score, attach and secure to the backside of the inner card.

Step 3: Carefully trim around the main design, you might find it easier to rough cut through the lattice area to separate both sides first.

Step 4: Line up each side of the design, with the design inside the card, then score and secure at the back. When dry add a panel at the back to cover the workings.

Step 5: Stamp the 'Love', die cut and then edge with a Silver Pebeo 4Artist Marker.

Step 6: Cut out Sara's Butterfly from the Butterfly Lullaby Signature Collection.

Thank you for stopping by today to see what I have been sharing, Hope to see you again soon. I do hope you like the finished card. Take care and Happy Crafting.xxx
