Tissue Paper Watercolouring Video on SCS

Looking for the Twelve Tags of Christmas event??
Click here to link up your tags.

Hi everyone.  I'm so excited that my Tissue Paper Watercolouring Video is being added to the video tutorials at Splitcoast Stampers!  It's such an honour!  Thanks so much Dina!

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!!

The white diecut flower with frame lets the watercoloured background be the star.  Love this combination of purple, yellow, orange, green, and a bit of gold.  I added a simple gold stamped sentiment banner at the bottom to finish.  If you want to know how I made the watercolour background using tissue paper, please watch the video ... everything is explained.

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 used Delicata Gold reinker to add a bit of gold to the tissue paper, so wanted to match that with the rest of the elements of my card.  A frame was cut from white card stock and swiped with the same gold (using an ink pad this time), as well as stamping the sentiment.

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.

    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

    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 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.

    Congratulations on having your video on SCS, Loll! I don't know how many times I've see this video! It's so well made and very helpful. :-) The white frame and the flower of your first card enhances the beauty of the colorful tissue paper. The second one is gorgeous! I'd love to try using gold re-inker myself! Hideko xx
