Sweet Stamps Parchment Challenge

Hope everyone has been enjoying the Sweet Stamps
Challenges.  Today is Tuesday and that
means it is time for a new challenge at Sweet Stamps.
The new challenge is Parchment, you have
to use vellum on your creation.

I stamped the stamp onto  vellum with white dye ink
and heat embossed with gold detail embossing powder.
I then flipped my vellum over onto the back side
and used the stylus' to trace/draw inside the lines
to get the whitish look, using the Etching/Embossing Mat.
  I used my memento markers in 
purple, yellow and green to color in the 
Pansy Flowers on the back side.

Here's a closer look at my Pansy Scroll Frame:

Stacey from Sweet Stamps has a
great step by step
tutorial HERE and a video HERE.

Please give it a try and you'll be amazed at how this 
technique looks, I was....  It
looks harder than it really is.
I love this look, so be on the lookout
for a few more cards using this Parchment craft.

Here is another card that I created also using the 
Parchment Craft:


Here is a close up of the top butterfly:

And here's a picture of the side view of my 
card so you can see the dimension.

So come and join us for this week's new Challenge at
