Page 28 - Clematis Card |
I would mention that for this card A4 parchment is a tad too short for this card and 12"(A3) is needed. I used my computer to copy the pattern but the flower lines are so fine that they don't scan properly in black and I found that copying in colour enabled me to scan and print it off - the lines come out blue. In retrospect I should have either rotated or flipped the pattern as well as as using it from the usual angle to enable me to do the embossing first. It is very difficult to read a pattern backwards.The flowers are outlined in pink pastel ink, red for the buds, green for the leaves (green dorso on the back). Painted with perga colours but not very happy with the outcome. Used white card to put behind the flowers and inserted dark green parchment inside the white card and trimmed to fit the pattern.
I hope the above might help someone else having a try at this card.
