New Skills

Hi

I've been fascinated by the parchment craft demo's on create and craft, and always wanting do have a go at something new, I bought myself some bits and a book and .....

Now I know that it is FULL of mistakes, but even so it was really good fun to do - even sewing on all those little beads - trouble is there is NO WAY I could part with it :)

I've been quite inspired  - I fancy having a go at doing some of the lacy boarders with a stamped image in the middle, if I can find a (simple!) pattern

Anyway - I thought I'd share my first attempt with you xx

Hi Melissa, Your first attempt is lovely, you need a lot of patience don't you to parchment craft. My hubby bought me a lovely book for christmas a couple of years ago, but I don't think I have the patience for it. There was a big area at the NEC in March promoting parchment craft, absolutely stunning designs.
Hope to see your next design soon. Dee xx
