Using Tissue Paper on Collage Cards
When you are stamping a card, do you ever wish you could have a see-through layer that doesn’t cloud up like vellum? The answer is as close as your cheap white tissue paper. It isn’t quite as shear, but I love the look.
I tape a 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of tissue paper to a sheet of copy paper around the edges. Then, I type up a page of text and run the tissue through my printer with a wide enough printing margin that the taped edges have no printing. (Adhering the tissue paper to a sheet of regular paper before running it through is a must. Taking your printer apart to remove the tissue from the roller is so not fun.) I cut out the printed tissue and adhere it to the card. If it crinkles a bit, great. I rub ink or metallics on the tissue. Then, I add my top layer, usually a stamped image adhered to cardstock.
If you use the same technique on a still wet painted canvas, the effect is really nice. The tissue almost melts into the canvas.
