I enjoyed the Try a New Technique-Stamping on Tissue. I had some orange tissue and used Glimmer Mist Chocolate Cherries and Tim Holtz Walnut Ink to wet the tissue and then finished it with a liberal spritz of Smooch Gold. I found that the more you crumple the tissue the better the results. I then gently applied the tissue to white cardstock which I had sprayed with craft glue. Then I had pretty 8.5 X 11 sheets of the custom paper. I used it to stamp the Haunted House and then cut the "moon" shape from the tissue and applied it to the distressed white card stock. THe ribbon slide is a pop top from a soda can. I saw this idea somewhere recently and wanted to try it. I like the look but it is a lot of trouble getting the color on the aluminum pop top. I used Staz On jet black ink but it chipped.
