Email entry from Trish

This is a lovely email entry from Trish who said that she hasn't done much parchment/vellum work but thought she would still give it a try.   This is what our challenges are all about.  Trying something new.

Last Minute Inspiration

Isn't this beautiful.   This is Susan's first attempt at Pergarmano and I think she has done a fantastic job of it.  You can find out more details here on Susan's blog.

Still a few more days for you to dig out your vellum and put it to use.  Entries close 29th November and you can enter here.

Halfway Inspiration - Vellum Challenge

The lovely ladies on the Design Team have been busy again creating a papercraft item using Vellum. I am sure these projects will inspire you. Our current challenge is open for your entries until 29th November. 

Your entry will put you in the running to win the wonderful prize from our very own Design Team member - Beth. 

The following is another amazing creation from our Guest Designer Mags.

The background and the fan are vellum.

from Beth  who had made this a long time ago, in 1998 actually.
Beth can't bear to part with it (I can completely understand .... can you?  :)) 

from Cathy - the verse inside an anniversary card printed on fancy vellum

From Lauren who has used vellum to create a shaker pocket behind the photo which has been filled with wood veneer shapes and sequins.
