Happy Monday to all 3 of you who read my blog!! :)
I had to make a sympathy card for a coworker over the weekend, and I thought I'd try a new technique that I've never attempted before: stamping on tissue paper. There's tons of tutorials on the web, but it's super easy.
First, you begin by stamping your image on the tissue paper (crazy, I know!) Make sure you put some scratch paper under the tissue because it will bleed through. Wait for your ink to dry, then crumble the tissue into a ball. Then unball (is that a word??) the stamped image. So you have something like these....
Take a piece of card stock and cover it with glue stick. Make sure every inch of the cardstock is covered!! Then take the tissue paper and stick it on the cardstock. Smooth it out as much as you want. You obviously want the stamped image to be clear, but I think it's interesting for there to be as much texture as possible.
I made 2 cards with coloured cardstock on the base for my tissue paper. It gives it a different look. For the rest, I used Daisy white (#1385) or Colonial white (#1388) cardstock.
So, the finished product looks awesome (just sayin'). I made 6 cards; 2 each of 3 stamped images, all different...
