This week at SOS we are asking you to...
TRY SOMETHING NEW!
Some of us like to try new things, and some of us need a push... so either way, we all win! It's time!
Here's my tag, in which my newly-tried technique was to add tissue texture:
 |
| Supplies! |
 |
| This is my stash of remnant trim, ribbon, and string... anytime I cut excess, it goes in here. |
Supplies and notes:
- Library card base coated with matte Mod Podge, then some tissue from my youngster's back-to-school shoes crinkled on. (I have glued tissue on to tags before, but this time I really focused on the texture I was creating...)
- Once dry, the excess tissue was trimmed away and I went to work with Tim's Distress Crayons... did not have a plan, just colored and smeared
- The blue portion was added last by lightly dabbing Broken China Distress Stain onto the open spots
- The heart was just lying on my desk in a stack-- the results of a Fiskars punch into a failed inky panel (by the way, the ink is Dylusions). It was accented with white Liquitex gesso and popped up with dimensional tape over one of Tim's arrows... I love this part.
- An under-utilized stash item (Pebeo Relief Liner in clear glitter) was used to outline the sun's rays and parts of the heart
- The hanging apparatus is 100% stash also, made using a scrap of Tim's Eclectic Elements fabric, which I braided with a few strands of red thread and attached with Recollections brads
- The quote... ahhhh... the quote is from a library catalog card from a choose-your-own-adventure type book based on Stars Wars. How wonderful is that?
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that is GLORIOUS, missus; full-on, all-out, far flippin' awesome in every respect. LOOOOOOOOVE it! yowza!

I've been trying lots of things new to me lately, but now I'm out of ideas, lol. The effect of the crinkled up tissue paper looks awesome! A true sunshine piece this.
ReplyDeleteWOW, Mimi! I just love this result! Maybe... just maybe... I need to give this tissue paper thing a try. And, thanks for the idea for storing all those ribbon scraps. :)
