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.
About the Author
Janet Wilson has lived and breathed papercrafts since early childhood, when she was first given a pair of scissors and some paper to keep her occupied. Since then, she has become proficient in a wide range of paper skills including parchment craft, quilling, paper cutting, embossing, paper pricking, casting and sculpting. Other outside interests involve her in amateur dramatics, especially in the fields of music hall and costume design. Janet lives in Berkshire. She is also the author of the best-selling books Parchment Craft, The Art of Parchment Craft and the Craft of Quilling, all published by Search Press.
