Autumn Thanks!
Hi everyone…Happy Monday! It’s Shari here with a card inspiration using some Ranger products.
I went off the rails and tried something completely different. I used several layers of painted tissue papers to build up an interesting background.
This technique is very easy to do and a great way to learn to use the Gelli Plate. I found it really relaxing. It all starts off with some Dina Wakley paints, Tim Holtz Layering stencils, and tissue paper.
I could see myself creating an art journal page like this too! I’ve shot a video of the process, hope you find it easy to follow.
I have a Blog Candy Alert!! Follow our blog via email and comment on this post for a chance to win a special blog candy!
Hope you all have a fantastic week! Enjoy!

I never thought of using tissue papers & paint as a background on a card. I do that techique on canvas and journaling pages but never tried it on a card. I know what I am doing tonight after everyone goes to bed and I have my own time to create something new!!
Beautiful background! Thanks for the video and the inspiration.
WOW – FUN & FABULOUS technique & card Shari!!!
THANK YOU for sharing your tutorial – I confess that I have been interesting in trying Gelli Plates and not tried working with tissue paper, NOW I feel TOTALLY INSPIRED and look forward to giving it a try :)
Beautiful! What a stunning background!
I love the Patina-like effect you achieved with these colors & textures!
you are so creative! wow! so many ideas.
Can’t wait to go and play with tissue paper and paint!
This is such a cool technique! I love all of the color and subtle texture from he different tissue layers. I guess I need a gelli plate now!
An absolutely striking card. Makes me want to go do this technique right now!
