In the Groovi!

The new challenge at Cardz for Galz is to use vellum. My first thought was to add a vellum band with a sentiment to the front of my card, then I had a lightbulb moment and decided to look through my Groovi plates which have been very underused!

I really found it quite relaxing even though my craft room feels like a sauna at the moment! After embossing the outline I added colour on the back withSpectrum Noir colour pencils. I glued it onto a white card blank then addded a frame cut out with a Julie Hickey die which hid the edges of the vellum and the glue!

Make My Monday - In the Garden

I made this card for a blog friend who has been a bit under the weather recently. Now that she has received it I can post it on here, and it fits in nicely with the theme at Make My Monday, which is In the Garden. There are quite a lot of wild flowers in mine ( otherwise known as weeds!)

I used one of the new Groovi plates from Clarity stamps to emboss the wild flowers on parchment and coloured them on the back with Spectrum Noir pencils. The Groovi plates certainly make parchment craft a lot easier.
