This textured stuff is wonderful. So many ideas from such readily accessible bits and pieces. Thanks for making it possible to read and have the benefit of your experience and that of others.

This was a terrific post. I tried it out and had a ball making papers. Reinspired my creative juices.
Thanks,
Karen

It could be ‘bloom’ from the paper. I’m afraid if I rub too much it may may mess up the tissue paper underneath. I will try the wipes tomorrow.

Bummer Leatha! Is is just paper “bloom” from the transfer paper? You can’t rub it off? Maybe try a babywipe on it… ?

I made the most beautiful tissue paper background, dark purple, dark and sea foam green both with a pearlized medium…then tried to do a transfer with the Talbot clay transfer paper…wrong move. Transfer looked great while still wet, then it started drying..turned white. I am pretty disappointed. Guess I will either try again or try the lazertran on the background…grrrr

Thank you for all these ideas, Elizabeth! Tissue paper makes wonderful layers with either more layers of tissue or by adding images through the use of printed paper napkins and other printed papers. We’re all about layers upon layers here…LOL!!
