what is the difference between pergamano and embossing?

Question

i have been card making only a short while, i am trying embossing on vellum, i have seen stencils for pergamano and wondered if i can use the pergamano stencil as well as embossing boards in one project? can i combine the two crafts and tools etc?

Answer 1

Yes you can. Pergamano is not only embossing some bits of the Vellum, but their are a lot of the tools in perganamo that pierce the paper and make lovely little punches in it. *S* Always nice to see a fellow crafter!

Answer 2

Basically, Pergamano uses dry embosing with other steps to create its art. So ..... you should not have any problems.

Pergamano:
Also known as Parchment Craft. This arts and craft skill is relatively new to North America. Designs are created on thick parchment paper using a combination of inks, dry embossing, and paper perforation.

Embossing
Embossing is the process of creating a three-dimensional image or design in paper and other ductile materials. It is typically accomplished with a combination of heat and pressure on the paper. This is achieved by using a metal die (female) usually made of brass and a counter die (male) that fit together and actually squeeze the fibers of the substrate. This pressure and a combination of heat actually "irons" while raising the level of the image higher than the substrate to make it smooth. In printing this is accomplished on a letterpress.
