Sweet Stamps- Christmas Parchment

It's Christmas in July at Sweet Stamps .  Out challenge for week two is Christmas Parchment!
 

 Parchment is a technique on Parchment Paper- similar to Vellum..... HERE is a video by Stacey from Sweet Stamps that shows HOW TO do Parchment.
 I stamped the image and embossed with Fine Detail Queens Gold Embossing Powder. The outermost frame area is highlighted with a Stardust Gelly Roll Pen- so it is sparkly IRL...The next frame is embossed from the back side with a parchment stylus. It looks 3-D in the picture, doesn't it?  The image is colored from the back with Copic Markers.
 The brads holding the sentiment were dipped in Pigment ink, and embossed with Fine Detail Queens Gold EP to coordinate. The Gold cardstock from Paper Temptress is embossed and a ribbon and antique button added for final accents.

HERE are the Sweet Stamps products I used on my card:
