Crafting at S G: Notebook with parchment and fabric

Notebook with parchment and fabric

You know when you have had an idea in your head for ages and you can't seem to get around to it, well, this project was one of those.

I love mixing fabrics and papers and had a lovely time creating this.

The stamp is from Crafty Individuals and is stamped onto linen and coloured with my lovely Derwent Inktense pencils.

The flowers were made with the Sizzix Tattered Florals Die and layers of organza, and parchment, both of which I heated over a tea light. This made the fabric shrivel and the parchment sort of buckle - really nice effect.

I made a parchment border for the image with a grid.

Some of the layers were coloured with distress inks before all being sewn on my beautiful old singer machine.

And of course a parchment butterfly.

I will be entering this project into the following challenges:-

Oh MY! What an amazing card, Rosie! All the hand details in the parchment paper, and the gorgeous watercoloring with the Inktense pencils (I've used their regular watercolor pencils and have a small set of the inktense pencils but have not used those yet). Can you tell a difference between the two pencils Derwent makes? Your card is so romantic and feminine with the daintiest of details - thank you for photographing the steps. LOVE your "place where it happens" is that really your home? So pretty and well-kempt. hugs, de
