Today's card tries a "new to me" technique called pergamano. After watching a webisode about the technique from Paper Wishes
here, I decided I wanted to give it a try. I didn't have the special Pergamano parchment paper, but had some similar paper for making sewing patterns that I thought might work. While the parchment I used was a bit thin and I had to be extra careful when embossing, it worked pretty well. I also didn't have the special templates, so decided to try it with the
15 Butterflies and Dragonflies Template from Hot Off the Press.
I started with a plain white card base and the Pink Butterflies Shine Design paper from Hot Off the Press. After embossing and piercing my butterfly, I cut around the piercing. Then I decided to add some black FlowerSoft for the body and antennae. A sentiment and "trail" made from adhesive-backed vinyl (cut on my Silhouette) finished the outside of the card. The inside has another little pergamano butterfly:

Very pretty! Great idea using the tempates. I might have to give it a try. Thanks!!!
Great job with this card! I have started trying this technique myself and I love it. I just got a couple new templates and will be ordering the Christmas one soon. I'll have to check out my templates and see what else might work.
Very pretty....and very well done!!
