Girly Pink

My brief for this order, was to make a birth congratulations card but it had to be girly and pink, in fact the more girly and pink the better. So I immediately thought of a little pink, lacy dress. I drew the dress template, traced the shape onto parchment, using a white pencil and used a pricking stencil, to get the pattern. I made a separate panel for the centre and 'cross' cut some of it, so that the pearlised paper underneath showed through a little, like real lace would. I'm not a 'parcher' but really admire the work that goes into parchment craft. I just just don't have the patience to do it!

I'm happy to say that my customer was very pleased and I was quite chuffed too!
