Tissue paper moon - go after your dreams.

Hi everyone, it's been ages since I've posted, although I have been slowly adding cards to my stash!

I wanted to play along with the latest challenge at CAS Mix Up card challenge where the theme is to use tissue paper. Loll and Bonnie have provided some great tutorials on this technique that were really helpful.

I scrunchled up some white tissue paper and glued it to a diecut circle. Then I sprayed it with some brushed pewter distress spray stain and sprayed some water onto this to dilute the colour.

 I dried it with my heat gun then swiped some versamark ink over the raised ridges and sprinkled on some liquid platinum embossing powder. I used an old soft paintbrush to remove some of the powder before heating it with my heat gun. I love the veiny effect! I then used a Spellbiners circle die to make the circle smaller (this tidied up the edges nicely!)

I've used stamping, heat embossing, tissue paper, and die cutting as my elements.

Edited to add, here is a closer look at the tissue paper.

The branch and bird are diecut from  2 different shades of grey card, both scrappy snippets, so I'm also visiting the snippets playground at Pixie's Crafty Workshop. I've layered them both onto a black diecut to add some dimension.

I'm also linking up to the Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes With Dies Challenge.

I've used Spellbinders circle, Poppystamps nestled bird and Memory Box  woodland branch dies.

Stamplorations CAS challenge has a challenge open while they are on Summer break so I'm linking up there too. The sentiment is from the Stamplorations Noteworthy set, stamped in versafine ink and embossed with liquid platinum powder.

Thanks for visiting,
