JFF - New Month - New Challenge

Well, here we are with a new month and a new theme for the challenges over on Just for Fun.  This time it is "Colour" and today it is "White on White". When I see what the other DT members have done I wonder why I didn't do something similar - there is some gorgeous work there. Instead I chose to do some Parchment Craft - something I have not done for ages.

Sorry the photograph is not very good but I found it difficult to get a clear picture.  It is the card I made for my friend's daughter's wedding but here it is not attached to its inner as I used black card to try to show it off better for the photo.


Not done this for such a long time and now I know why, it took me quite a while to produce.  Do like the craft and some of my other friends make the most beautiful things but I am afraid I have got a bit more "instant" of late than Parchment Craft allows.

Well, thanks for all the wonderful entries we had over the month, I loved those themes using materials and this last week was no exception.  Great work, great folks out there - you all deserve a big gentle pat on the back (and thanks for joining us with our challenges).  Anyone reading this who has not seen the entries over the past month pop over to JFF grab a cuppa and prepare to drool.

Beautiful card Neet. I love white on white, it's such a romantic, clean and elegant colour scheme. Parchment craft is perfect, adding the necessary texture to make the scheme work. In awe of your many talents. Is there nothing you can't turn your hand to lol. Pxx

Your card is beautiful and the work you have put into it shows your love, care and attention. Like you this is a craft I love but you do need to give up quite a period of time to do it justice XOXO Zoe
