This is the first detailed Parchment work I have done and although it is a little complicated, Parchment work is very therapeutic. It is a craft that makes you slow down and take your time. Something I think we all need to do from time to time. Firstly, you trace a design of your choice onto parchment paper using either a white pencil or white ink, then using various sizes of Ball tools you emboss the design. Then using several pricking tools you outline where you wish to remove the parchment and then remove this with very fine scissors. I said I could never do parchment work and although I am far from excellent at it, I am relatively pleased with the results of my work. I encourage anyone to give it a go. The reason I would like to win a MISTI is because I love doing detailed work whether on parchment or card and I feel the MISTI tool is the only tool that can help you accomplish this accurately when doing stamping.

Oh my, Rachel, this is exquisite! I've heard that this is very relaxing, and your work is wonderful! Welcome to SCS, and I know you will love it here!! One of my SCS friends does beautiful parchment work - Jerri Kay. She is currently taking a break. But here's her SCS gallery. Here's her blog.
So glad to see you join SCS, and I know a MISTI would really help in your stamping! Hugs!
