Looking for the Twelve Tags of Christmas event??
I wanted to make a tissue paper watercolouring card to launch at the same time. I used one of the tissues left from when I made the video several months ago. Makes a fast and easy card having a stash on hand. :)
I actually made two cards and they are from the same piece of tissue. One I paired with white die-cuts, the other with gold. They look SO different!!
Here's the second card I made ... using a piece of the same watercoloured background, but this time adding a gold flower and frame. This pretty Wildflower die is a gift from a dear friend.
I hope you'll give this fun technique a try. Makes great backgrounds without having to use watercolour paper. I have also stenciled over tissue paper backgrounds using two different techniques --- sponging with ink and embossing paste. Both work great with these backgrounds.
I'm adding both of these cards to The Flower Challenge #14 - CAS.
Thanks for stopping by!

two fantastic cards and yes they do look so different - both beautiful in their own way. congrats on the SCS honor have a good rest of the week, Loll!
Gorgeous tissue paper backgrounds, Loll. I love both your cards and you are right..same tissue paper with very different looks. I still have a stack of papers to use and love using for quick and beautiful cards.
Your SCS photo and video tutorials are so wonderful. I love all your videos and go to them often for clear, professional helpful tutorials. You are the best my friend. Hugs
Your papers are so gorgeous, Loll. Beautiful cards.
Loll - that was just about one of the most creative tutorials I've seen! Thanks so much for the inspiration! I'm off to the stamp table....just incredible (don't know why I'm surprised - you're one of my biggest muses)! Phenomenal projects! :) :)
Congratulations on having your tissue paper tutorial added to SCS. Love the result you get each time and with so many products to use. Makes for fabulous backgrounds. Another 2 beautiful cas cards Loll. Love seeing your work.
I love the way you have used these fabulous backgrounds! I even have that daisy die and time to pull it out and use it after seeing this! I love how you layer that blossom too. Congratulations on having your tutorial aired on SCS too!
Well if you ask me, and I know you didn't, but just saying...I think all your video's should be in the video tutorials over at SCS! You do such great video's Loll, your a great teacher. I love both of these cards but my favorite is the white flower one. Your tissue backgrounds look amazing. Just yet another technique I need to try! Hugs, Brenda

Congratulations. I follow you and use your creative ideas. You are very talented and explain the techniques so well. Thank you.
Congratulations on this great honor, Loll! Your videos are so informative and concise! I love these techniques and need to build a stash. I seem to use them almost as fast as I make them!
Congratulations on having your video on SCS - it is one of your best and is such a great technique. I love both of these cards - nice to see what a difference it makes just changing the colour of the die cut. I think the white one is my favourite as I love the stronger contrast with the background.
These are both sensational, Lolly! I'm so delighted that you received this honor! Your technique is super fun and the results are always stunning!! Hugs, Dolly
