Welcome to PTI's April Blog hop. This month the challenge is to use tissue paper on a card or other paper project.
There are several ways to use tissue paper. Layered flowers are all the rage now. Nichole has great tutorials on her blog showing the faux silk technique.
I'm not much of a technique person. Oh, I have all the supplies. I watch the videos. I try the technique. However, my cards never look like what they're supposed to. Faux silk? No, mine looks like wadded up tissue paper.
After several attempts, I gave up and pulled out a stamp from my collection and went with the obvious use of tissue. Yeah, I know .... strange sense of humor. I was, however, pleased with my first attempt at this kind of bow. I always admire the bows on everyone's cards. Would have helped to have a third hand, though.
I hope this card qualifies. And I hope you enjoy it.
