Poinsettia Parchment PatternCompleted by Wendy Bromilow

There are variations on what you can do to make this card, (see pattern for basic instructions). In this instance I embossed the snowflakes, you could alternatively just outline the edges.

I pricked the oval around the text using a grid to ensure even spacing.

The poinsettias are coloured using blendable pencils and lifting colour by further blending with a splender blender pencil.

I used a large ball tool to shape the decoupaged petals, this is done by just gently embossing the centre of the petals.

Using a scallop edged tool to perforate the parchment gives a lacey edge finish.

To perforate out the decoupage petals use a two split tool and perforate into the last hole each time, this makes it easy to tear away.

Have fun experimenting with different variations of the pattern.
