Parchment Craft Magazine - March 2017

Parchment Craft Magazine - March 2017

Make a note in your diaries, Mother's day is 26th of March, Easter Sunday is 16th of April and spring is just around the corner! Appreciating that you 'parchers' like to get ahead of the game I've picked for you a selection of cards suitable for each occasion.

There's also a really strong floral influence in this month's magazine with a variety of cards featuring colourful flowers and white worked flowers. Evidence of vibrancy and effervescence can be seen in a fantastic painted bouquet by Pat Murphy which sits inside a gorgeous lace work gatefold, and is over the page, but if it's embossing and fine detailling that you prefer, you'll enjoy re-creating Marcia Wood-Krentz's white work flowers on page 8.

As always there's a fantastic collection of card designs. They all promote the many techniques within the craft and the patterns can be adapted to suit the ability to which  you work at and for the occasion for which they are required. My favourite piece this month can be found on page 24 and it is by Julie Roces. I love the attention to detail on the embossed butterflies, the simple perforations in the centre and the stylish border design.
