This was the first parchment I have done since I had the first cataract replaced and I wasn't at all sure how things would go.
But Wow! - I was surprised at how much I managed to do, and to be happy with what I did do.
I didn't do the complicated border as I felt that that was a step too far and too soon. Instead, I found some pretty little corner heart emblems from a Groovi plate and I used those instead. I also added a larger single heart in the middle of all four sides.
I added the bow. I found I had a bow die with a pretty edge so I used that. I made a couple - one in a toning pink and one in parchment - and then asked my son to say which he preferred and the parchment one was his choice. I added the gem to give a flash of sparkle.
I really enjoyed this and can't wait until the second cataract is done so that I can get back to doing some decent edging with the grids.
Here is my card. Hope you like it too:
Beautiful and you have done a lovely piece of parchment, good job you were not with me this week trying to make some orchids in parchment, I would have had in tears and screaming with my efforts that in the end I scrapped. I think I better come to your classes and have some good lessons.
