Parchment Craft

Hello Parchers

THE PARCHMENT CRAFT TEAM • HOW LONG DO EASTER EGGS LAST IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD?

Bonus Patterns • Enjoy embossing, perforating and colouring these eggs for Easter!

Pink florals • These pretty flowers are in full bloom and ready to be sent to a lucky recipient!

Dorsing with oil pastels • Using oil pastels to colour on parchment is an alternative to colouring with blendable pencils. The colour is spread with a blending agent such as Zest-It, small amounts of white spirit or even essential oils. Usually this is done on the reverse of the parchment. The aim is to achieve colour without streaks.

Add fine detail to your parchment projects…

Pure elegance • This design is suitable for a wedding or prom card. I have made a white work version, where the skirt is embossed only, then went on to add the flowers as a 3D option. It includes white work and lots of cutting, so is more suited to Parchers at the intermediate or advanced level of the craft.

Bonus Patterns • An adorable family of foxes to adorn your designs.

Going for gold • Just five blendable pencils creates the look of gold which is perfect for this greetings card for a most special occasion. Using blendable pencils, you can achieve the look of gold on your project with a mixture of brown and yellows. Depending which ones you choose it can be a very bright gold or have a more subtle effect
