On the program she embossed them with a light box, and they looked really good, ive tried but it looked a mess
the patterns on them are white, borders, frames, and lace patterns

i am a parcher, i also seen the demo
if you have a foam pad or mat, and an embossing tools
you can turn the parchment over and emboss around and in the design
from the back, i hope this helps a little for you.

Gladys May is right, but make sure you don't press very hard, or you will go through. Sort of stroke the parchment rather than pressing hard. You can go back and go over again if not showiing up enough
