I have not done much blogging for a while, but I could not miss this very special day for deskers. Four hundred weekly posts is quite a landmark to celebrate. Congratulations to you, Julia,for keeping everyone going for so long.

This is not strictly a desk, but it is where I am working at the moment, playing around with parchment techniques, and my Derwent Metallic Pencils. Some embossing,some perforation and some colouring on this one. The grid, I used is one from Pergamano (now owned by Clarity, and my tools are a mixture from PCA and Pergamano.
Here is one card I completed last week, coloured with Derwent Inktense blocks and a slightly damp brush, and the backing paper if one of the new packs from Clarity. The stamps were designed by the lovely Jayne Nestorenko.
This parchment coaster was started at the Clarity Make and Take at November's NEC show. I finished mine at home as I wanted to do more embossing.
I cannot believe that the first month of the year has already vanished. I really must get myself together to blog more frequently. Meanwhile, Happy 400th Birthday.

I love the gradient white work. I'll have to try it. I am a groovi addict, but not massively experienced with parchment.
Lovely cards and smashing blog Maggie. Thanks for taking the time to post it.
Some beautiful work I love the look of parchment craft but find it takes so long to do. I know what you mean about the year zipping by. Tracy #31

Hi Maggie - good to see you. Those are beautiful. Anne x 11
Fantastic colouring on the card - I don't think I have enough patience for parchment craft but it looks wonderful.

Thanks Margaret, kind words that are undeserved, it's sort of self perpetuating! Lovely cards. I wonder how many surfaces in your house have crafty things on them, if you're not actually working at your 'real' desk!
Absolutely beautiful!
