First let me apologise about the state of my hands in this video. I have been playing with alcohol inks and I have them everywhere.
No matter how much I scrub they will not come off not even with Isopropyl Alcohol either. But I had a lovely time creating and the cards will be shown over the next few days.
However this card today is using a really strong Parchment and I embossed it in a folder.
Thinner parchments could tear as it is embossed but this one is very strong. It is a 160 gsm and the nearest I could find on Craft Stash is this 150 one for Groovi crafts.
But it is not the one I used and I don't really know what it performs like.
The video is not too long but will give you some idea of how I did this technique if it is something new to you. I am sure that you will enjoy the results of your work once the card is completed.
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx

Very interesting video Christina Four beautiful cards. Ten years ago I used to make cards with parchment and a ball tool pressing the back of the parchment to get the white effect. They used to take a very, very long time. How much better and easier using embossing folders - the same effect. I have some parchment somewhere so will give it a go. Many thanks Diana Lawton xxx
