Project of the Week ~ Tissue Paper Stamping Collage

Hi all of you Repeat Impressions fans! Deonna here posting my Project of the Week. This is a pretty simple technique, but I love using it to collage my Junk Journal covers.

“Tissue Paper Stamping Collage”

Supplies:
White Tissue paper
Black Archival Ink or Stazon
Mod Podge
Mixed Media Foam Sponge
Acrylic Blocks
Repeat Impressions stamps - 1711-K, Lupine; 1713-J, Dandelions; 904-L, Daffodils; 4313-K, Sunflower; 1317-L, Vase of Tulips; 912-K, Tulip Bouquet; 1320-M, Spring Blossoms; 9001-L, Butterfly (lg); 9009-F, Butterfly (sm)

Take your tissue paper, black ink and desired stamps that you’ve chosen to use. Stamp onto the white tissue paper with the Archival ink and stamp all over.

Take your fingers and tear each image out of the tissue paper.

In this project I’ve chosen to collage a large manila envelope front that I’ve already prepared for my next envelope Junk Journal. You could also use this technique for making a card or other project. I recommend sealing the base of the project with Mod Podge or Gesso before collaging on top to seal the surface and prevent bleed through.

Take your envelope cover/card, Mod Podge, Mixed Media sponge and my torn out stamped tissue paper. Add a layer of Mod Podge directly on the surface of the cover and then add one of your tissue pieces at a time over the Mod Podge. Continue to do this until you achieve your desired look.

Set the project and allow to completely dry.

Next color the stamped images as desired. I chose to color mine with Inktense Pencils. Your cover is then complete.

Thank you and I hope that you will give this technique a try.
