Product Description
Product Description
The cards in this book feature a cross between simple embossing techniques and paper pricking, and should not be confused with the original, more time-consuming parchment art form. This book looks at making parchment cards using a basic kit and three-step stencils and suggests ways of mounting your finished pieces as attractive cards. You will learn how to colour the parchment paper prior to embossing as well as how to spot colour areas of the embossed project, using permanent pens and coloured pencils. Ideas for freehand decoration of the projects are shown, and how you can devise your own designs by using only parts of the stencils. For the more adventurous, Janet Wilson suggests more advanced ways of using the stencils, and introduces a couple of basic decorative techniques from the original parchment art form.

Format:Paperback
I was looking for a few books which would serve as an introduction to Parchment Craft. Sadly, although this book gives excellent, comprise and clear step by step instructions with good photographs, there are no patterns/designs in it and thus relies upon you purchasing the actual stencils it uses for examples. For a beginner this is therefore somewhat of a disappointment.

Very disappointed with this book it shows you how to make great cards all in pictures, But that is it.
There are not templates to copy, It just show you where to buy everything a waste of money really. It is basically like a library to look at of other peoples work.
