I've had a little bloggy break! I can't believe it's been more than a couple of months since I posted but I'm back with you all now, which is all that matters, if you're looking for Groovi inspiration.
I really enjoyed a day out all by myself last Sunday, I went by train to the Parchment Guild exhibition in Bristol, it was totally inspiring. I met so many very talented parchment professionals exhibiting and sharing their hints and tips there.
One of the ladies I met was Tina Cox, she designs wonderful patterns and cards for the Parchment Craft industry. She has recently designed a new set of stamps purposely to use with Parchment craft work. The set is called Butterflies and Flowers....here's my first card using them...
I used my Groovi square plate to make the simple frame, my Groovi grid to embellish the corners and my Perga Cutters to make the crosses in the corners - don't look too closely at those little crosses - I messed one up!
I used the 'rock'n roll' stamping method on to the front of the Parchment for the sunshine. The Stampin' Up ink colours I chose were So Saffron & Crisp Cantaloupe. The flower heads, leaves and stems were also stamped on to the front using Crushed Curry & Old Olive. I embossed from behind giving them dimension using a fine stylus tool.
I hope you like my card, thanks for popping by.
Happy crafting.
