me again. I just started doing this craft again. I never did too much with it before but looking at your wonderful work, just sent me right back to try it again. What my question is,.... What is your favorite way to color the card? I tried my markers today but it is a very faint color, (which I rather enjoy). But yours are so colorful and gorgeous. Well, hopefully you won't mind my questions. thank you dear.
these realy are fantastic, so much detail and the colours are great! im fairly new to parchment. when you colour in part of the design do u do that 1st or do you emboss it 1st?
I've never seen anything like this...absolutely stunning! Tutorials would be a wonderful thing...start off with some relatively easy pieces. Thank you for showing us your beautiful work!
your work is excellent I keep going it over and over again I am very thrilled toknow that persons are using their teaching abilities to provoke others to good works,may God continue to bless the works of your hands
oh Rachel. I have long been in love with Parchment work but have never never seen work like this. You are fabulous are all you do but this work far exceeds all work I have ever seen. And I am old. LOL. What magnificent work. Only now, we need some tutoring dear. What is the best thing to work on. As a pad, I am asking? Or light box?
@1sweetbonbon Thanks for your kind comments! I have never used a light box for parchment craft. If you use patterns as I have done they are easy enough to trace without the need for a light box. For embossing work, I use the Pergamano embossing pad. Hope that helps :-) Rachel
II have to say that I was looking towards someone that teach how to work in parchment and I was almost giving up this Idea. But after see your projects. I'm crazy to start & keep looking even in Internet a way to learn. Who know's & maybe one day I can be able to do such a PERFECT AND BEAUTIFUL desings like you do...Thank you for share such a awesome pieces of art Indeed ...you're an ARTIST :) greetings from Costa Rica
Thank You so very much for sharing your creations! I'm so impressed with your work. Very inspiring... I've always been attracted to this type of craft and now after seeing your work I feel the impulse to go shopping for tools and supplies to start my own. It would be great to see you in action (I'm sure it'd be absolutely delightful)
@doreenfarnham1 Yes, you can buy rainbow and coloured parchment. Pergamano would be the brand I recommend as it is designed for parchment craft and is a good heavy weight.
oh my goodness. how much detail and now I can gather a bit more how talented and skilfull you are. Wow! And a whole bunch of artwork. Awsome! Could you make a tutorial on the basic techniques and tools you use? I mean not a whole project, but maybe a small example from which to go further or something? That would be awsome! I hope you have a great time! Thank you for sharing this.
LOVED your work!! Until now I have preferred white work because all the colour I had seen was too dominating. Yours however, is very subtle and appealing. Great viewing and I was sorry when it was over.
They are all lovely it s a shame you never gave a demonstration of how to make one. I ve ordered a step by step parchment guide book so I can make the cards to.
OH MY GOSH! I have wanted to do some parchment crafts for quite a while now. The problem is I haven't had the finances to purchase the tools. You have done beautiful work! I love the butterflies. But I really love the one with the cat!!!! I'm a cat lover, and we have 2 at the moment. Neither of which is a tabby. But they both have a catatude.
Hi RachO113, thanks for sharing your cards! I have also made a few of the same patterns. Love Christine's butterfly designs! Wonderful to see that you also share an interest in parchment craft. The fan you made is absolutely stunning!! Hope you have had it framed by now. Thanks for sharing all your other wonderful projects with us too!
WOW Rach0113, no words could ever describe how beautiful and special your cards are, they certainly do give everyone seeing them alot of inspiration as to what can be achieved, will be looking out for more of your excellent work. Thanks for sharing them with us.
sooo pretty, TFS!! out of curiosity...i know it's parchment paper being used for this technique but is it the same parchment used for baking?? thanks.
@luckygallm Hi, The parchment paper used in this craft is much thicker than that you would use for baking, though saying that, it is still rather delicate to work with.
These are simply beautiful! I have been wanting to try this craft for some time. These examples have inspired me to give it a try! Thanks for sharing!
OMG! I don't even know what to say, I have never seen anything so beautiful....WOW! I have just recently stumbled upon your videos and I am so excited I did. Your work is amazing and inspiring. I really have been inspired to step outside my box and try different kinds of art and I am having so much fun learning from super talented ladies like yourself. Thanks so much for sharing your gift!
Unbelievable detailed work. So gorgeous. I loved the first one with the butterflies, as well as the one with the lilies. So gorgeous! I loved the subtle rainbow effect too! So much detailed cutting, wow! The single butterfly one, with the hold lines is absolutely exquisite. Such incredibly nice work. I wish I knew how to make these. Do you have a tutorial on how these can be made? I'd like to try it :)
Bummer, just read the other comments. Aww you really have teased us big time with these. They really are breath taking. Thank you so much for sharing them.
OMG these are stunning. Will you please please please pretty pretty please (did I say it enough.. will keep pleading if I need to.. lol lol) show me how to do the one with the shoe. I understand how much time it takes to do these but I'd love to learn. Pretty pretty please... :-)
love the cards. Are you planing to make any tutorials? I have some supplies to make those kind of cards but i think i forgot how to make them. I brought a whole bunch of supplies last year at a craft show. hope you make some tutorials i am sure they will help me. Loved the butterfly card.
As you can see by the comments you've received, we are in awe.... This technique is unusual here on YouTube. I too, would love to see the process! How can we convince you.....?
Wow these are so gorgeous! I am in awe of all of these Beautiful cards. I have never seen anything like them! Great job! My hubby wathced the video with me and he was totally amazed, too!
Fantastic cards and so detailed. I've never seen parchment craft before. I'd love to see you explain a bit more about it and the tools you use. Thanks for sharing. Your creativity is such wonderful inspiration.
Rachelle, these are amazing! I would love to watch a video of you creating a card! How do you get all those tiny little holes (for lack of a better word) in the parchment? So very detailed! Amazing! Please consider showing us a tutorial! TFS! Cheryl
I have made a card similiar to these 2 years ago. It took me ALL day! I didn't have the proper tools though, I only used vellum and an embossing tool. Your work is AMAZING!!!!
Hi Susan. I have done parchment paper cards before and I know how much time and work that went into your projects. They are all beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your creative talent with us. Mary
I love them! Wonderful work, so detailed. I am going to give it a try but I must be crazy to even think I can do it. You have such talent. Thank you for sharing your gift of creating with us! Patti
Very beautiful Rachel. I love parchment. I made favors using parchment and I love the ending result. It's really fun especially when using your embossing folders. I'm waiting for my TH embossing folder. Really want to use the Bingo one with Parchment. TFS!
These are absolutely gorgeous and a shame to leave in a box. I love them and you're very artistically inclined. Did you sketch and cut these free hand. Wonderful job as always on everything that you do. Thanks for sharing your talents....
@suziecrafter10 Hi Susan, I used a pattern for most of these designs which gives you the basic outline. Obviously all the colour and shading is up to the individual. Usually there are cutting and embossing instructions too.
@polaritygrrl I read up on the techniques online, then subscribed to a Parchment craft magazine too. There will probably be tutorials on YT no doubt if you are interested in learning:-)
@memoriescrafted Sorry, no tutorial for these - way too many techniques - though I'm sure someone, somewhere on YT will have tutorials from beginners to advanced :-)
WOW WOW WOW!!! They are stunning Rachel and of course I like the butterfly ones. But the best one I think is the last one, the FAN, now that is stunning friend. Can you do a small one as a TUTORIAL and let us see how you did them please! I've only ever seen this kind of crafts as pictures in mags. Would love to know and see how its done.............:) :) :) Nice one pet.
@Jennings644 Sorry, no tutorial for these - way too many techniques - though I'm sure someone, somewhere on YT will have tutorials from beginners to advanced if you are interested in learning:-)
Your work is beautiful. I especially appreciate your cut work. I have some experience with Pergamano and know how difficult it is to achieve such amazing results. TFS
I'm not that keen on parchment cards but your work is just wonderful and shows what can be done with this type of work.... never thought it could be this beautiful! Your drawing skills are amazing... love the butterflies, cat and geisha!
Rachel, I happen to practice Pergamano as well and I can tell you have been doing this for a while. Your cards are just beautiful and the precision is phenomenom. I appreciate all of your videos and I thank you for sharing! Kind regards,
