Thursday Workshop.

By
Four lovely ladies came to my Parchment Craft workshop last night - and these are some of the samples I had prepared for them

For those of you who maybe do not know - Parchment Craft is the art of tracing a design onto Parchment (which is like a very thick vellum) with white ink and then embossing onto the back. The embossing tool breaks down the fibres of the parchment so when you turn it back over the design is raised and white. There are also other techniques which involve perforating too with a fine needle tool.
So I provided my ladies with some designs to work from and some very pretty pink parchment and this is one of the designs we did

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend - see you soon - Jacqueline xx.

So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
