Playing With Parchment Paper Backgrounds And New Dies

Last fall I explored a new technique with parchment paper and glue and needed some more samples for a class I am teaching so I played some more with the technique. Here is a link to the blogpost with a video on how to do the technique. Basically you wrinkle up a piece of parchment paper and attach with white glue to a piece of cardstock. But the card above shows what happens when the white parchment paper is inked with a blue ink and a blending brush. I die cut the leafy circle with a new die from Paper Rose.

I added some red ink to this parchment paper background simply by dragging the ink pad direct to paper. I bought Brutus Monroe's Sketchy die and stamp set because it reminded me of the Etch A Sketch from my youth and I used it on both of these cards and the inside:

I don't bake so I didn't know parchment paper also came Unbleached, but I bought some and it makes another unique look especially over dark cardstock as I did here.
