Technique Tuesday -- Tissue Paper Background


Hi Everyone! I hope you are enjoying your day. As promised I am showing how I made the background for this card that I showed on the Sparkle N Sprinkle blog hop last week.  I always have so much fun with techniques so again I made several different backgrounds. I just can't stop at one! LOL!


Supplies needed:
  1. white  or light colored tissue paper
  2. Distress stains in complementary colors
  3. white card stock
  4. Brushable glue
  5. water
  6. pan for water
  7. foam brush
  8. glitter  --  I used Goldenrod Velvet glitter
Squeeze some glue onto the card stock, dip the foam brush in water and brush the glue across the card stock.



Wad up the tissue paper, open it up some and lay it down on the glue. Let this dry.


Trim off  edges with scissors.


Start swiping the stains over the tissue paper.




Swipe  some of the raised areas lightly with the diluted glue using the foam brush and add glitter.


This is so easy and fun. Here are some more backgrounds I made. On this first one I went lightly over the stained background with the silver Distress stain to give it a different shimmery look.




Thanks so much for stopping by. I wish you a wonderful day!

April
