This is for Debbi's challenge to use tissue on our cards. I thought of the molded tissue technique which is just layers of wet tissue pressed onto your stamp. Before I started layering my tissue, I dabbed my stamp with distress inks and spritzed generously with water. I used 4layers of TP spritzing between each layer with water. Once I had my layers wet I pressed down till I could see the stamp design. I then balled up more TP and tamped over the wet, molded TP to pull some of the water out. I carefully pulled this off my stamp and laid it aside to dry. I did get impatient and cheated a bit using my heat gun, but this must be done carefully. Once dry, I spritzed with homemade shimmer spray. I used my paper snips to carefully cut the excess TP away. For my background, I stamped in Versamark and embossed in clear. I used a partial tag sentiment and added a crumpled ribbon cheater's bow.
