      Introduction

      I was delighted to be asked to write this book about parchment craft as it is my hobby, my fascination and my addiction. I first learnt this craft as a 14-year-old schoolgirl in Colombia in South America. I enjoyed it from the very beginning and started to make celebration cards for my parents and for my friends. People soon began to place orders with me, sometimes for as many as 100 invitation cards for a confirmation or a wedding. My reputation spread and soon I was asked to teach the craft to others. It was nice to see how my hobby became my work.

      Despite my enjoyment in teaching, I had an overwhelming dream – to see Europe! A girlfriend and I saved hard for the trip until one day we boarded the plane and left for Europe. This trip was to change my entire life as I met a Dutchman, fell in love and came to live in the Netherlands.

      I wanted to learn the Dutch language and to meet the people in my new country, so I joined a flower-arranging course. I showed my parchment cards to some of my fellow students. They were amazed at the beauty of the pieces and asked me to teach them the skills.

      As the popularity of this craft grew, I started to instruct teachers both in the Netherlands and abroad. My husband and I started a parchment craft foundation and published a magazine about the craft.

      So what exactly is parchment craft? It involves using parchment paper; a strong and flexible translucent paper. The techniques used include tracing from a design, embossing (raising) the pattern, perforating, cutting, painting and creative art stamping. You can make beautiful greetings and celebration cards, decorated envelopes, splendid wall decorations, colourful bookmarks, lampshades and cut-out cards with stained glass effects. It is also possible to make your work three-dimensional and produce delicate gift boxes, lovely baby booties and even very realistic flowers. The lacy borders made by perforations and cuttings are gorgeous and are the hallmark of the craft. If you see them you would not believe they are made from parchment paper.

      This book is aimed at both newcomers to this craft and more experienced craftspeople. To help beginners, the book is divided into different projects, each one teaching you a new technique and enabling you to build up a repertoire of skills. You will need to start with the first project and gradually work your way through the book. When you reach the final project, you will have mastered all the different techniques of parchment craft. The techniques may look slightly complicated, but don’t be alarmed. They really are easy to master. For the more experienced, this book is a source of new patterns and ideas.

      I hope you enjoy your parchment craft!
