Pergamano and rubber stamps

[glb]

Is anyone here using rubber stamps for Pergamano? Do you have any way cool
techniques you'd like to share?

[Yvonne]

I like to use detail white embossing powder to stamp an image. Colour in
from behind using pastel Le plume markers if you want very pale colours
or from the front if you prefer brighter colours.

I stamped a snowman in a glitter globe in white onto marbled blue
parchment and made it into a card using blue cardstock.
Snow scenes look very effective on the blue parchment.

I have tries using brass stencils on parchment to create a raised white
design. No colouring in.

Thank you! This is exactly the sort of thing I am looking for. I would
never have thought to do snow scenes on blue parchment and am looking
forward to trying it.

I often use a stamp with Pergamano. I white (or gold emboss) an image onto
translucent vellum. Then I flip it over onto a mouse pad, and dry emboss
with my burnishing too. Then I lay the translucent vellum over a brightly
colored paper, and voila! Linda

Can someone please explain the difference between the transparent vellum
(light or heavy thickness) and Pergamano. Thank you.

Hi Lois, Pergamano is a trade name for parchment work on cards. It
isn't really a specific type of paper but is the art of working on
parchment paper. Does everyone agree? ionaIn article

Vellum is a type of parchment paper, either heavy or lightweight, that
is somewhat or partly translucent. Pergamano is a particular brand of
vellum or parchment paper.

Pergamano is a craft, not a type of paper (though it wouldn't surprise me
if some manufacturers were selling vellum as "Pergamano paper.")
Basically, it's a dry embossing technique; you use a stylus and stencil or
pattern to trace a pattern onto the vellum; when you turn the sheet over,
the pattern will be raised and whitish. I haven't done it myself, but most
of the demos I've seen use the heavier vellum -- I'd think the lighter
stuff might be prone to tear.

I have dry embossed on lightweight vellum and no problem. My 5 yr old
does it on regular copy paper and it does fine....

Pat and all---How do you colour the debossed images?? I have seen this done and
it is gorgeous!

Pergamano and similar debossed images are colored using a variety of
techniques.
+One can color the back side (for a softened effect) Try coloring with
crayons, colored pencils, watercolor markers (like Tombow)
+On the topside you can use colored inks, "white-out" in colors, craft
paints, etc.
+The Pergamano company markets an assortment of items specifically for use
in this craft. While definitely on the pricey side, I find that their
products are very well-suited to do exactly as they advertise, and I usually
end up paying the extra for it. However I also get what I pay for. A project
that has the look I want.

Dorso crayons are made especially for coloring Pergamano images.
Perforating, in addition to embossing, is an important part of this lovely
but time consuming and meticulous craft. I love doing it.

Pergamano paper is definitely heavier and much easier to work with than
the plain light weight vellum, though that will work. It works better from
some projects than others.
