Hi there.

Thanks for popping in.

What a grand result Team GB had on the water and in the Velodrome yesterday!

All very exciting. 

I was jumping up and down and shouting at the telly 

when Bradley Wiggins and his crew 

were up against Australia for the Gold. 

My word it came close !!!

Local girl, Jessica Ennis-Hill, is set to get gold in the Heptathlon

(oh I do hope so. I do like her);

and on the water, the rowers were brilliant as usual.

So I thought I would celebrate by making a cool card for them,

the water babies.

Since we are having a Groovi Pergamano Parchment Party Sale 

this weekend,

I thought I would use parchment, 

(25% parchment sale + your member’s discount on top)

but combine it with stamps and stencils.

By the way, the single Groovi Plates and Borders are now loaded onto the Sale too, not just the bundles.

Love this stampset:

Adjust the Sails

Ready?
Here’s a stencil which goes perfectly with the stamp above….

Rope Knot Stencil

It’s really cool stamping on parchment; 

and it’s also very effective using ink through a stencil.

Attach the stencil to a piece of plain A5 parchment.
Dry brush a little yellow as an undercoat.

Now to the stamp….
Stamp using Black Archival on the light teal parchment. 
Cor. It does stamp up beautifully.
