Using tissue paper resist technique from below, create a colorful background. Once it is dry, apply it to a chipboard tag using two-sided tape. I did this since the watercolor paper I used was very flexible. Stamp the sun (Viva Las Vegas Stamps) and the figure (Dina Wakley) using Archival Ink Jet Black. Adhere washi tape on the bottom.
I learned this technique from Tigard Public Library and they provided the basic kit for this technique.
Ingredients for this technique
watercolor paper
tissue paper (I am not sure if all tissue paper will work. I heard that art tissue paper will work best)
water
tweezers
white crayon
First, draw a design on watercolor paper with a white crayon. I drew flowers. Spray the watercolor paper with water. Then place pieces of tissue paper on watercolor paper using tweezers. Using tweezers makes the paper easier to place and keeps your fingers clean. Tap down where necessary. Spray again with water. Let the color move on its own. Let dry. I let it dry overnight. Then remove the tissue paper and discard them.
Here is the watercolor paper after I removed the tissue paper.
