This is Papyrus

I got it here.

Spent some time today playing with it and finding out how nice it is to use.    Main image, Creative Expressions, stamped in Archival Ink and coloured with watercolour pencils.   Using a water brush to blend them out worked as it would on any other paper.    Found that it does not tear but is perfectly fine to cut with scissors.

Using a sakura glue pen some gilding flakes completed colouring the image.   The frieze at the top is a Tanda stamp with WOW ultra fine ep.   Heating it was a little tricky, hold the heat gun to close and the paper starts to bubble.    The cartouche at the bottom stamped in Memento and coloured with Pro Markers did not present any problems either.

So another page for my book and an interesting material to work with.

Don't think there are any challenges that this fits so I'll share it with you all.

  5. Never even thought of papyrus except in history lessons. You have done so well to add so much to it without a mistake. A really lovely addition to your book for sure
