Pergamano

Hi All and happy July 4th to my friends in the Us. Thank you for calling in at Jumbled Crafts to see what I have made for today.

I did say last week that I would try Pergamano as I found the tools lurking in the bottom of a packed box of things I never use any more. These were never meant to be really but, years ago, our local craft shop had invited someone to come and give a demonstration and needed people to make up the numbers. It was quite expensive at the time but included lunch and the tools. I just loved the magical samples that were on show but came home with a card that was rubbish and nothing like any of the samples. All I had to bring home were five tools. Three with round bits each end, one with a big round end and a pricking tool.

 During last week I looked online to see what I should be doing and while they were changing ends and having a rest between sets at Wimbledon tennis' I was having a go at Pergamano

I am going to enter this in the challenge at Crafting by Designs where anything goes for the whole of July



I drew some simple flower shapes and printed them out different sizes on parchment. I just used plain parchment but backed the picture with pink card and Sharpies to colour the other things.The ribbon is covering the sticky tape.
 I couldn't get the light quite right for the photograph so used my own camera and Vic's as well and the colours were different. I think the real colours are something in between.


Have a wonderful day all

Love Chrissie xx

    Lovely card, great colours. This was a craft I never liked, although the kids at school used to love pricking paper to make lanterns, and it kept them quiet for a long time, which was good! Stay cool! Hugs, Valerie

    You were so right to try Permagano again, you've been successful at achieving the delicate effect of the craft and the design and colours work very well. Very pretty card Chrissie, keep it up.
    To remove colour casts from my pictures I always use Picasa (free download) it has a nifty "Neutral Colour Picker" option which allows me to set my white reference (I always have the same white paper somewhere in my pics).

    Have just been googling to find out what Permagano is all about - still not sure I'm any the wiser - but in any case the card looks gorgeous! Hope you've been enjoying the tennis and the sunshine.

Tag and Journal page design

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
