Hi Everyone, it's time for our monthly technique over at the Group of Cardmakers.
This moth we are Dry Embossing tissue paper and braying on some colour.
I added colour to tissue paper by spritzing it with water and swiping it through ink on my craft sheet, you could also spray some colour onto the tissue paper. When it dried I crumpled it up then opened it out again and stuck it to card stock using craft glue (careful handling it while it's wet, it will tear easily). You can leave as many of the creases as you want when you flatten the tissue paper out. The creases give it a more distressed look when you bray with the paint. When the glue is dry run the sheets through some 3D embossing folders then brayer acrylic paint over the embossed area.
As the tissue paper makes the brayred surface more uneven, sometimes the paint does'n come in contact with all the embossed image. You can touch up some of the areas with acrylic paint to get the effect you want.
Loll has a video on adding colour to Tissue Paper,
For my first card I used a Poinsettia Embossing folder and bartered a metallic blue acrylic paint over the image and then went over it again with some black in to give it a more distressed grungy look.
My second card I used a berry and foliage 3D embossing folder and gold acrylic paint.
My third card I used a holly and berry embossing folder and gold acrylic paint.
