Years ago I used to do parchment craft. I had very few tools, just a bunch of embossing styluses. Yesterday I tried it again for the first time in about 20 years. The design for this card came from the book Parchment Craft by Janet Wilson
. When I used to do it, I was able to get regular parchment paper, but now all I can get is vellum, so that is what I used. The dark parts in the butterflies and flowers are actually the same gold as on the borders, but for some reason it showed up dark in the photo. I started with a very simple design because it's been so many years since I've done this.
The card also doesn't look as blank as this in person. Instead, it looks classy. :-) I purposely didn't add any embellishments because in person I like the effect of just the layers of matting and borders.

I am glad you didn't add any embellisments. So often, less is more.

Kathi this card is simply stunning. Absolutely beautiful.
Completely agree with Myrna, it needs no embellishment.
Beautiful Kathi. I don't think it needs anything more. You are very talented.
Wow...STUNNING card....love it, and I never heard of stamping on parchment...is that a special paper?
Beautiful parchment work, Kathi. Just perfect!
I used to do it years ago, but it's definitely a labour of love xx
Stunning, classy card! You are a lady of many talents...that's for sure. I have a few basic tools to do this technique, and I did give it a try, but never was actually able to complete a card. It's a lot of work! LOL
This is gorgeous!
