Well, it took me to long to provide you with another parchment crafting pattern.  February came and went all to fast and time just didn't allow for me to design a pattern for February.  I told myself another month would not go by without another!  So here is the pattern I have developed for March of 2000.  I hope you enjoy this simple and fun design.

Tracing:
  1.  Trace all stems, leaves, petals circles in boarder and outer line of boarder in white ink.

Embossing:
  1.  Use Large bowl embossing tool to emboss the circles in the boarder.
  2.  Use medium bowl embossing tool for petals, leaves, and stems.
  3.  Use small bowel embossing tool around the outside edge of the boarder.
  4.  Use hockey tool to highlight  the petals on each of the flowers.  Make strokes from the
       center of the petals outwardly.

Painting:
  ***    Do all painting on the back side of the design.**

  1.  Paint each leaf using a deep green acrylic paint or marker
  2.  On approximately half of the petals and buds paint with a purple and the other half with a
       blue. (these colors of course are dependent on your preference.)

Dorsing:
  1.  blend in a circular motion dorsing colors that compliment the petals of the flower.  In the
       example shown, Us red and purple.

Perforation:
  1.  Use 4-prong perforation tool following the grid of the pattern.
  2.  Cut away perforation to make x's all the way around boarders.
  3.  Use single point perforation tool and make a single perforation in the center area of each of
       the four star blocks around the boarder.
  4.  Use 2-prong or a 4-prong straight tool to walk around the outside of the boarder to cut free
       the finished design.
 

I am already working on a pattern for April and for Easter.  I hope to have it ready by the fisrt of April for your parchment crafting pleasure.
