PERGAMANO

Practicing my parchment. Found this on the internet and thought I might be able to use it. So I transferred it using my light box then did the outlining. Colored it on the backside using colored pencils.

Pergamano Swap - January

January's Pergamano swap was winter flowers. I chose to do the Amaryllis. That's the first picture. Second picture is from my swap partner Kay. The background doesn't show through very well, but it's a beautiful green paper. The next layer is the flower only and the top layer is the beautiful frame. I so can't do the intricate cut out work. I guess I should practice more!

Our swap for this month was to have some sort of Christmas theme. I really like the wreath I found so used it. I mounted it on Christmas paper that has similar leaves as the wreath ad flakes of snow (which you can see in the wreath's center).

Parchment Swap

Out theme was stained glass. I still need more practice! My partner for this one is from Australia and still waiting for her card. I found this as a picture and thought it would be fun to try.

Parchment Swap

September's challenge was to make something with ribbon added. I've had thus fan pattern and had been wanting to try it. It was already encased. I used brown cardstock for the base. The background under the fan is Japanese washi paper mounted to the cardstock. The other card is what my partner sent me.

Summer Flowers - Pergamano Swap

This card was done for a swap with the pergamano group I belong to. The theme was "Summer Flowers". Our group leader has dubbed our "monthly" swap name as "PMS" or Pergamano Monthly Swap. How funny is that. Some of the tools used could probably be dangerous!!

PARCHMENT CRAFT/PERGAMANO/PAPER PIERCING

On my Pergamano group we had a challenge. The pattern was supplied. This was my input. I tried a different type of vellum. It was very "forgiving" so won't use it again. Experimenting is always fun!

PARCHMENT CRAFT/PERGAMANO/PAPER PIERCING

I created these Morning Glories for a challenge from a Pergamano group I belong to. I really liked this pattern so made these 2. Spring was done with a light shade of green vellum then a yellow background on a white card. I colored the flowers with colored pencils. Purple was done the same only I put a background paper behind it that was a floral with writing. Then mounted that to purple paper and a white card.

PARCHMENT CRAFT/PERGAMANO/PAPER PIERCING

My very first attempts at trying this beautiful artwork. I've got a lot to learn about the techniques. Top left and bottom right corner I stamped the tulip flower inside the fram. Top right corner I colored the back side of the paper with markers.
