#30 - Pergamano Flowers

I had been fascinated with this form of art called Pergamano. Its simply amazing, beautiful and so much fun. This is my first Pergamano card and I really liked the way its come out.


For this card, I used 140gsm vellum sheet and traced the design with permanent black fine ink. The best option could be using Micron fine tip pens or even Sharpies are good. For coloring I used the Faber Castell Connecter pens and the Faber Castell Polychromous pencils of the same color shade.

For the flowers I started from the bottom of the petal, added a little color with pens and then used the waterbrush to create the light an shaded effect of the same color. Then turning the vellum, I embossed the petals starting from the top which has added the white effect on the petals.Finally, used the pencils to added a little darkness to the petals. Followed the same technique with the leaves.

I traced the chevron with the white pencils and turning the vellum stippled the entire chevron using a single needle tool.

Finally, the border, I traced it using the white pencil and embossed it using the ball embossing tool and using the 2-needle tool(Mini StampEdge) cut out the border.

I really hope everyone like this!!!

#29 - Quilled Flowers

I had come across this simple design of a 3 petal flower and wanted to re-create it with #Quilling. I have not added any sentiment on this card as I felt it could be used for any occasion.


I used the #Spellbinders - Romantic Rectangles die set to make the shaped card and added a few pearls on it.

Each petal in the flower is made of 7 individual quilled teardrop, all glued together.

Hope all like this.

I am entering this card for the IQCG#22 - Anything Goes and the IQCG DT Call 2016

# 28 - Quilled Christmas Card

I wanted to create a quilled card in red and green and thought of this very simple design.



I first quilled the flower with 3mm strips of red and golden and the leaves with 3mm strips of dark green and arranged them.
I diecut the cardstock using the spellbinders die on which I made the arrangement. Used the patterned paper from Kaisercraft Twig and Berry cardstock.

# 27 - Christmas trees

Some days back I was just browsing on one of the online scrapbooking stores and came across these gorgeous Christmas tree peel-offs. I instantly fell in love with them and had to order them.




To go with these silver Christmas tree stickers I used the silver glitter paper and white glitter paper as a mat. And finally used the silver border and corner stickers as the finishing touches to the cards.

# 26 - Quilled Flower - Seasons Greetings

I had this quilled flower made some time an wanted to use it somewhere and this new card was the best way to utilise it.


I die-cut the twig using Marianne Designs dies. Embossed the top part of the white cardstock and tied the black and white polka dots ribbons to add some contrast to the cards.

I am not a very big fan of using ribbons on my cards but really love their effect with quilled cards.

# 25 - Quilled Snowflakes

Love quilling and I absolutely love quilled snowflakes. So I thought os making a few mini cards which would highlight one single lovely little snowflake.




Made the snowflake using 3mm white quilling strips and added some pearls. Used die-cut shapes to ad dimension to these cards and finally used silver peel-off borders just to add finishing touches to these cards.

# 24 - The Paper Players - Tic Tac Toe Challenge

Back after a long time.... Its Christmas fever everywhere and I am all set to create some beautiful Christmas cards.

I created this card for The Paper Players - tic-tac-toe Challenge




The combination for this card is the Blue - Sparkle or Shine - Embossing.

I have used the blue cardstock, heat embossed the snowflake with white powder on the blue vellum and to add the sparkle I have used the rhinestones at the corners. I did the same embossing for the sentiment.

I really wanted to work on vellum for a long time now and this was a perfect opportunity.
