Considerations

Parchment paper is both surprisingly tough and delicate. Take care when embossing not to use too much pressure, as this could tear the paper. Some tools, such as the embossing stylus, have a very fine ball point and can also easily tear the paper. Watercolor paints can create gorgeous parchment craft effects, but parchment paper and water don't mix too well. Take care not to overwet the paper as this can lead to buckling.
