Alcohol and Tissue Technique

A fabulous way to create an amazing Focal point on your project

A white based card with blue mats. in the top 3rd is a square with another blue mat. on top is scrunched up tissue that has been coloured with alcohol blends and spritzed with alcohol. The colours are light blue, dark blue and bright green. Thereis white foliage to the left of the square with a blue bow at the bottom and the sentiment is stamped with Just wanted to say.
Just wanted to Say ….

This is a fantastic card that highlights the Alcohol and Tissue Technique. When I am using this on a project I tend to keep the rest of the card quite simple as the real hero is the coloured tissue.
For this sample I used the Dark of each of these Stampin’ Blends, Azure Afternoon, Parakeet Party and Starry Sky.
The technique is best explained in the video below.

These two samples are created on a square card base. This time I have created a frame using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Once again it really draws the eye towards the wonderful textured highlight of the coloured tissue. For all the projects once dry I have added very lightly some Versamark and Silver Embossing Powder this just adds a wonderful pop.

2 square cards exactly the same on A white based card withwhite frames. Inside the frames on each card is scrunched up tissue that has been coloured with alcohol blends and spritzed with alcohol. The colours are blues on 1 card and pinks on the other. There is a silver trimmed sheer bow on the left and the sentiment is stamped with Just wanted to say.

    These cards are beautiful! So beautiful I decided I had to case them right away. I dug through all my gift wrap totes, and learned I’m out of white tissue paper. Darn the luck! Anyway, they’re beautiful creations, and once I get more tissue paper, I’ll be trying it myself! Thank you!
