They are beautiful. I remember when I was little seeing my grandmother doing this craft and I was so amazed every time I had the chance to see her working on her cards. Truly beautiful !.

[@artfulevidence]

+Andrea Vincent Thank you :-)

[@dreasmom2789]

[@lesleydeeming9479]

[@valeriehellard5267]

Love your cards. I have seen many of your videos and I love them all. I have been doing parchment for a several years. Its the first time I have found yours. Your cutwork is beautiful.

[@buttonbags]

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

[@MeganBeads]

Absolutely gorgeous cards. I really love the butterflies at the beginning.

[@kittyfood10]

These are so beautiful! I really enjoyed seeing them. Thanks for sharing.

[@berylthompson7611]

beautifull cards.i've just started parchment crafting so your showing of your work encourages me to persevere and have patience, thanks for taking the time to show and describe your work.

[@ShabbyPinkStamper]

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

[@JannGray]

These are GORGEOUS! Such detailed work. Would love to see the process as I have never seen this done before. TFS

[@n1kko09]

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.

[@AVintageFair18]

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!

[@lavendarrose29]

Very nice cards. I love this craft, just dont have the time to pursue it. They look great. That high heal is my favorite.

[@zdem8259]

I admire your patience and creativity! Very beautiful!

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you :-)

[@artfulevidence]

You usually use acrylics on the front of the parchment They are great fun to use!

[@CraftybyToni]

i'm not surprised at all that your cards and crafts have been in magazines cos your work is amazing i love the butterfly one with black tfs

[@sasula54]

My goodness, what beautiful artistry! Your work is magnificent. At this point in my paper crafting, I'm not anywhere close to trying my hand at parchment craft, although I used velum once for something very basic . . . I thought it was lovely. LOL. Definitely, I would like to try this when I have advanced enough, and all because of you!! Thank you so much!!

[@Ladidahsera]

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) Again... Thanks for sharing!! Leah

[@LiveLoveScrap]

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!

[@etdevlie]

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! Emily

[@cherylm7321]

Truly gorgeous work! I've done some parchment craft, but I need a pattern, and I don't have the patience or coordination for the most detailed work. These are enough great cards to make a really nice book.

[@1stTessa]

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.

[@EVL14512]

Beautiful!!! Those cards are just stunning, thanks for sharing.

[@Mabu14]

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!

[@shumber68]

You are an ARTIST!! I wish I had a quarter of your talent!!

[@Wishingwell688]

You are very, very talented! Thanks for sharing yoru gorgeous work!

[@stephanoid69]

omg these are just gorgeous. They are soo unique. Im speechless. I just love them all. WOW. tfs stephanie

[@jewood90]

These are so beautiful. I'd love to know more about how they are created. You're very talented.

[@artfulevidence]

@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.

[@smscrapper]

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 :) Thanks for sharing!

[@mrxyx1]

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

[@kayluvs2scrap]

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! ~Kay

[@babyjane8546]

I accidently came across your video. Wow, you are certainly talented! Just amazing artwork.

[@artfulevidence]

@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

[@youcteena]

I'm speachless! How beautiful!!! TFS

[@reginaangel]

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.

[@lehighgal]

All I can say is AMAZING!! They are so beautiful TFS

[@Sewtangle]

Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing what you do. The details are stunning.

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you :-)

[@nancyprobst6311]

Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing.

[@lajkitty]

OMG, Rachel that is beautiful parchment work

[@andreavincent4619]

They are beautiful. Good job!

[@artfulevidence]

I mostly buy my parchment online, but you should be able to find it at a local craft store too. If you are unsure which parchment is suitable, go for the Pergamano brand. It can be more expensive than other brand, but is stronger and more resilient, making it a better choice for a beginner if you are unsure about how heavy it should be. Then you will have a good one to compare others too for the weight it needs to be :-)

[@artfulevidence]

@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.

[@sudmorris]

LOved them all! They are soooooooo pretty.

[@barbaracornwell3041]

Absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to get my kit in the mail.

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

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.

[@janethitchen7065]

They are beautiful , you have talent.

[@linmassey6527]

what wonderful craftsmanship. Would love if you ever do lessons. Your what inspired me to give it a try.

[@artfulevidence]

+Lin Massey Thanks Lin. Wish I had time to do lessons - maybe in the future :-)

[@eurossocial]

I am amazed! You are very talented and you did an excellent job! It the most perfect handmade creations i ever saw :-)

[@elkeartsandcrafts]

WOW! Such beautiful work. I so admire this art form, but have tried it and don't have the patience for it. I was really surprised to see that you had done these after viewing your other work, it simply did not seem like your style. Well done, though. I know that you must have spent many hours creating these. TFS. x

[@Shonz14nw]

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.

[@johnwhelan1193]

Really great work, love the fan.

[@nannaspain1]

Rach, your cards are fantastic. Do not think I will ever to that stage.

[@TeniTinyCrafts]

Wow! These are so Beautiful! Very creative. TFS!

[@cindysms]

WOW!! Absolutly beautiful!

[@michaelking5091]

Absolutely beautiful work.

[@debthern]

hi Rach , i can't believe i haven't seen this video until tonight. i watch lots of your you tube work but apparently not all of them. These cards are beyond beautiful and amazing!!! l actually purchased a hard cover book on this art form but that's as far as l gone so far. l do just love the pieces so much. thanks for sharing now i must learn more. deb

[@carried9130]

Wow these are stunning!!

[@suziecrafterdesigns]

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....

[@artfulevidence]

@lazycatz37 Hi, Thanks for your lovely comment. Unfortunately, these are not for sale as I keep them to send to close friends and family :-)

[@fhmi100]

wow every thing soooo beautiful . love them alot

[@artfulevidence]

Hi Tria, I bought myself a couple of books to learn the techniques - that was a long time ago though & I'm sure there are plenty of video tutorials around now if you search for them. The Pergamano site is a good place to visit too :-)

[@CraftyTash]

These are amazing, and so inspirational.

[@mahendrakushwaha1677]

Hi Rach, I just saw you video it is wonderful and has helped me in clearing lot of doubts that I had about perforating with the different needle tools.Thanks.

[@maryjanew20]

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

[@artfulevidence]

@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.

[@lindachristoffer8410]

Absolutely gorgeous work.

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you very much Linda :-)

[@subharpitanayak2915]

The best craft video I have ever seen....

[@dreasmom2789]

you are so talented. Amazing work you do.

[@margaretskinner2081]

absolutely stunning, thank u so much for sharing. I have been looking for a new craft to learn and I think I have found it.Hope I an do it justice as u have

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you :-)

[@marionseguna4482]

good job. love it. very talented.

[@artfulevidence]

+marion seguna Thank you very much Marion :-)

[@artfulevidence]

The pattern was by Pergamano, not sure if they still make it or not. I found a lot of my tools online, try ebay :-)

[@wakkywoman46]

Just BEAUTIFUL!

[@Sabah-rv1qy]

❤soooòo amazing cards thanks a lots .I love it .

[@cher1292]

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

[@marinacavazos]

So beautiful. Thank you for sharing. :)

[@Jazzyjess49]

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.

[@artfulevidence]

I use Pergamano tools for all my parchment projects - If you do a google search you will find them easily :-)

[@vanessastyles953]

Wow! Thank you for sharing your beautiful projects, I've found them to be inspirational. I really like the attention to detail in parchment craft which you clearly achieve, but I must say your use of colour is outstanding. : ) vini

[@tracyscards]

wow they are all stunning

[@jingstring]

They are so beautiful.

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you :-)

[@toodlesandbinks]

wow, I tried this and gave up .... you have such an awesome talent. Hugs Kay

[@Lilygirl283]

I love the look of parchment , but I think it maybe to fiddly for me to do, but you make really lovely cards!

[@scrappysue56]

Stunning work !

[@artfulevidence]

Thanks :-)

[@artfulevidence]

@lala09la The designs are coloured first, then embossed afterwards :-)

[@Nicedesire]

you are such a talented person, I love your work! So beautifull... go on like that! Best wishes...

[@StampQueen101]

RachO, Absolutely Beautiful!!!!!

[@gmavon]

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.

[@jeffnval1]

Oh my goodness! Your work is stunning! Simply amazing! I read your comment to another person, there are VERY few tutorials out for use newbies. I wish you would consider consider doing tutorials! Start with the beginning...basic supplies needed and then techniques, believe it or not, there is not a video on the proper way to cut. I saw one video and a commenter left an ugly comment on how she was wrong on her technique but did not offer help. As I said, your work is stunning! Valerie

[@beauti60]

This is just so interesting, I have never tried but I am now.

[@thekimberly003]

Very nice!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@memoriescrafted]

these are just stunning! Hope to see a tutorial:) TFS, Marlene

[@debican01]

WOW...these are breath taking beautiful! The time you put into these is amazing. What will you do with them? Could you sell them? TFS

[@tinkermelw53]

Absolutely beautiful work...with so much detail! Thank you for sharing your cards and I hope to find tutorials showing how the pencils/acrylics are used. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

[@artfulevidence]

I'm not really sure about tutorials for Parchment craft, at least on YT as I've never looked for any. I'm sure there will be some though if you search. Christine Coleman does a couple of DVDs that may be helpful to you - Not sure if these are available worldwide, but it's worth looking her up :-)

[@sagearwen]

Hello Rach! I love you parchment cards. Where might I find tutorials on how to do this craft. I would love to learn this technique to add to my repertoire. I really love the embossed and cutwork on these. This is excellent work, no wonder your work was included in a magazine. ~Tria

[@balletchris]

amazing work, bravo, it is brilliant

[@AikenScrapper]

these are beautiful, I would love to see a tutorial on how you create them.
