The card I'm sharing with you today is a mix of traditional parchment craft and Groovi, finished off with a perfectly cut card, shaped specially for the design.
For this card I traced one of the patterns from the booklet in the Pergamano starter kit. I traced the design with a white pencil, which seems to be the professionals preference these days, I understand! I embossed the lines from the back and did a little shading using the embossing tool which came in the kit.
I scored the vellum on the fold line and folded it neatly, then I used the two needle split tool to prick out the design (both front and back together), it's quicker and much easier than using snips/scissors for a traditional picot edge. When I first learned about parchment craft, many many years ago, the 2 split needle tool didn't exist. I sure am pleased it exists today!
For the sentiment I used a Groovi border strip. I made the base card by scanning the image into my Silhouette Studio software, where I was able to make a made to measure card!
Thanks for popping by today.
Happy crafting.

Loving this card too. Such a lovely shade of green and such beautiful embossing on the vellum.
This shaped card would also make for a fantastic strawberry!!
