Step 1:Take your white stamping card and position your rose, draw through with your fine liner. Next overlay your fern stencil and repeat but dont go over any of your previous lines. Mask of your design with Pebeo Drawing Gum. Starting with Blueprint Sketch, blend in from the edge of your card.

Step 2: Continue blending with Chipped Sapphire

Step 3: Around the very edges, blend a little with Black Soot 'less is more'. Finally use the distress Crackle stamp all over the design with Versafine black ink.

Step 4: Remove the drawing gum

Step 5: Using a selection of alcohol markers colour your design, adding depth and shade.

Step 6: To finish your card, Layer it onto a red mat to bring out the rose, then mount onto your black card base.

Parchment Rose

Morning today I am sharing a Parchment card that I made using a stencil from Be Creative. I thought I would use it differently and that it would make a nice statement piece. I have mixed the Groovi with it so it's sort of a mix between Traditional Parchment and Groovi

You will need:

Be Creative Rose Bloom Stencil

Clarity Lightwave

Groovi Sprig A5 Square Plate

Groovi Banner (Your Choice, Depending on the size of your Sentiment)

Pergamano Embossing Mat

Embossing tools

Black Green & Red Polychromos or Pergacolours

Corner Punch

Black Card

Step 1: Transfer your design to the parchment, I used my light wave, but you could place it all on dark/black card and trace it that way. Lightly emboss your line work with a small ball tool

Step 2:Add your Banner and Sentiment. Then add the sprig background.

Step 3: Add your white work, do this gradually and leave it to rest in between layers. Do the same for the banner and add more dimension with black to make it ore 3D.

Step 4: Colour your rose design and leaves. Mount your piece onto black card, using a corner punch to hold the parchment in place. Finally to finish your card, mount it onto a Centura Pearl card Base.

Thank you ever so much for joining me today, I do hope you have enjoyed the tutorial and finished card I have shared. Please join me again for some more Inspiration. For now take care and Happy crafting.xxx
