Stencilled Parchment

By Janet Brammer

Materials Required:

Dreamweaver stencils: STE039 and STE070.

Parchment paper: TR003.

Masking tape.

Wa x e d paper.

Old newspapers and a sheet of plain paper.

Fine and medium embossing tools.

Coloured backing paper (optional).

Double sided tape: ADH13 or Spray mount.

Card mount to fit the stencil.

To Make The Cards:

Place the stencil right side up on the work

surface with the tracing paper on top, use small

pieces of masking tape along the edges to keep

them together.

following the lines on the stencil and outline

edges of any areas. For small open areas use

the medium tool to gently emboss the whole

area. Leave large open areas unfilled.

Rub the surface of the tracing paper with

waxed paper to help the tool slide easily when

stencilling. If you don’t have waxed paper, take

a piece of plain paper and a white candle. Rub

the candle over the paper so some of the wax is

transferred then use this as the waxed paper.

Usually with stencilling you need to work

over a light box as you can’t see the stencil

through the paper while embossing but as you

are stencilling onto tracing paper you will be

able to see through without the light box.

First use the fine embossing tool to outline all

the areas and for any lines. Place the end of the

tool onto the tracing and apply gentle pressure

Guidelines For Mounting:

If you are using an aperture card

the best method is double sided tape

just outside the aperture area, use a

coloured background paper behind the

work if the card is pale or the design

will not show up well.

For cards with no aperture spray

mount is best, this will change the look

of the tracing paper but gives an even

covering behind the design, if you try

to use tape it may show through the

tracing in patches and spoil your work.

Ideally use the spray mount out-

side, if this is not possible work in a

well ventilated area and protect your

furniture and fabrics with old newspa-

pers. Tape a piece of plain paper on top

so the newsprint does not come off on

your work. I put a little

blu tack on each corner

of the work and press

it gently onto the paper

to hold it still whilst

I spray.

I have used the

Nouveau Flowers sten-

cil to make all but the

heart card. Using

different bits of the

stencil has added

variety to the cards

and the addition of

alphabet letters in a

similar style helps

to personalise them.

The main picture

uses the complete

Nouveau Flowers

stencil, I then cut

carefully round the

edges. It is stuck

onto an SF03U card

using spray mount.

When making the

bookmark I found

the centre portion of

the stencil fitted just

nicely into the aper-

ture leaving a space

to add the recipients

initial for a more

personal touch.

Above: This design is made up from the

outer flowers on the stencil without the top,

upright part. I have added an alphabet letter

for the personal touch again. Any single letter

could be inserted or use a slightly bigger card

and fit in two letters.

Below: As valentines day is coming up why

not try a heart stencil. This design is mounted

onto the card with just a tiny touch of glue

along the very edges.
