Another Virtual Make and Take

Good Morning all and welcome back to the Make and Take table. I thought today we would make a Christmas Card...it is over half way through June you know! Actually it's 188 days from today so if you are going to make all your Cards from Parchment now is a great time to start. Haha!

There are a lot of lovely plates to choose from but I used Tina's Christmas baubles. There are so many lovely designs on that plate and opportunities to change the designs and do grid work in the shapes.

The was first done at the Open Day in Leyburn 2018 and I know that quite a lot of people who did it there enjoyed it even though it was a bit more of a challenge to get the frame right. 

I hope you have a go at this one and if you don't have the plates I used see if you can just use it as inspiration.  

Merry Christmas Baubles

Ingredients

A5 plain parchment

Tina's Christmas Baubles GRO-CH-41009-15

Occasions Border plate  GRO-WO-40060-09

Border plate Mate

Blendable Pencils

Blender tool and nib

Dorso oil

White pen

4 brads

Designer paper cut 14½cm²

6x6 card blank

1. Create a frame using the bauble border. It should be 12 sections on each side.

(Tip: Start at the short edge of the parchment and emboss 12 sections, turn and line up with the last square then emboss a further 11 squares. Continue round until you have a frame.)

2. Add the circles in each corner square and the mini baubles in the rest of the frame.

3. Add a piece of the border across the aperture from top left corner to middle right side and fill with mini baubles.

4. Emboss the baubles of your choice ( one must have a plain circle in it if you want a gem)

5. Change to the border plate and add the sentiment.

6. Emboss white work in small areas.

7. Add colour on the reverse. Turn the parchment over and colour a faux gem on the front if wanted.

To finish this

Trim around the frame with a paper trimmer or perforate and snip

Attach to designer paper with mini brads

Mount onto a 6 x 6 card blank.

I you have a go please post your card on Groovi or Clarity Worldwide so we can see how you got on.
