This is my sample for the Tissue Paper Collage tutorial - you can find all the instructions HERE! Lydia's tutorial this week is a fun technique using colored tissue paper to add fun accents to a mixed media project. My card is similar to her sample, but I used a book page as my base, and brayered acrylic paint for the background color.
To create the grass, stems, and leaves I used a clear set from my stamp line at Impression Obsession. To add color to the white tissue paper, I scribbled onto my craft sheet with Touch Twin Markers, added a spritz of rubbing alcohol, and laid the paper into the wet ink. I cut the paper into spirals and adhered it to my base with gel medium, then added in dots and details with acrylic and alcohol markers when it was all dry.

Love the book page background! It has lots of encouraging reading, unlike the book I most recently tossed! Funny story, but I picked up an old book to use as background and only recently pulled it out to use. Before using I started to read and decided it was not the type of reading for my projects! LOL This is an awesome piece of art!
