Ideas for card craft beginner

Lovely card Shaz. You are keen with the tissue paper challenge, I'm still thinking about it! Well done. See, you could have invented Iris folding.

Shaz, I just googled Blue Sky on Google Images and picked one that I liked. I did have to amend the colour in Picture Manager by brightening the blue, as it looked OK on screen but was a bit grey when I printed it off.
I think I ended up with an image from a tourism website, but I can't remember exactly.

Hope this helps,

shaz - brilliant card !! How did you do it ??
Looked in woolworths today to see if they had any patterned tissue............well, not in our little branch. Would it count it I peeled a serviette in half ? Does that come under 'tissue paper' ? I'm really at a loss

Mary my tissue was from a load i had left from a scrapbooking kit been looking for a way to use it

When i was thinking about this challenge all i could think about was either aperture or collage

I am sure napkin classes as tissue as does boxed stuff for blowing your nose and some of them have pictures on!!!

Good luck

Hiya, Sorry I haven't been on recently, I'm having computer problems too! My laptop has refused to let me post on MSE for a couple of days! :eek::huh::sad: - I'm just back to using our main computer that has firefox - hope its not a widespread mse problem!

We haven't got our 'official' challenge post this week yet have we? I hope Polly hasn't got computer problems too!

Don't give up on the tissue paper idea everyone, take a look at the first few pages of this thread for ideas - I've even sourced some more techniques using google - they are on my laptop so sorry, can't share them with you right now. My card from page 1 of this thread suggested using tissue paper and pva glue on silver foil for a lovely blended abstract effect. I have since found out that unless you use the 'right type' of tissue paper it won't work. Maybe that is why Polly had a problem when she tried it? There are other ways suggested early on in the thread - mumoftwo gave us a nice example, and there are others too. Give it a go!
