Rubber Stamper magazine

subject magazine. On page 95 is an article by Carol M. Heppner entitled
"Tropical Sunrise." On page 96 she gives directions, but also on page
96 is a card background created with metallic markers. The same effect
can be achieved with Spectra Art Tissue. The art tissue comes in 20
different colors and in size 20"x30". The black tissue and white tissue
do not transfer colors. All the others do. I tear off pieces and
randomly place them on a card. I've used paint brushes, sprayed water,
sponges, etc., to get different backgrounds. After wetting I gently
lift the art tissue off. At times there is still a lot of water left on
the card, I will then hold the card up so the colored water can run
into some other color.
The package of art tissue is only a little over $2. Much cheaper than
buying a bunch of metallic markers (although I have some).

wonderful way to transfer the dye to the paper. And I loved reading your
description on how to do it. Sounds like fun.
Keep in mind, that when using the Metallic markers or the tissue you will get a
different look and feel to the paper every time. And... that's what you want.
No matter what method you use, the key is to have fun and enjoy it.
What was different with the card in Rubber Stamper was the Delta Color Mist
sprays that I used with the markers.
While they are made for made for flowers, ribbons, fabrics, and Styrofoam...
they can be used on paper as well. It's a nice transparent color.
You may like to try it as a second layer once you create the background paper
tissue. It just gives it added depth.
They also have a wonderful tea dye color that would add a nice aged look to
paper.
Once in a while you can get the Delta Color Mist on sale... but the normal
price I have on the bottle is around 3. I bought the primary colors so that I
can mix others when I spray one on top of the other.
Now I am wondering how black would work over both the methods that we have
tried!!! Not to cover the area completely.... just to add some splatters!
And have you ever tried to add glitter spray over the finished product!
Then I wonder what the paper would look like if we did one method... let that
dry... then did the second method on top of that. Let that dry... and then hit
it with the glitter spray! -hmmmmmmmm
Side light on the card: It was made about a year ago. Photographed, and sent
in with other landscape cards of mine.
About three months ago they called to ask me to recreate a full sheet of the
background to be photographed. Than goodness I save my directions and
photograph my work.... Even then, it was tough getting the second page of that
background to match the first page. And, it doesn't... it just gives the feel
of the first background. When working with water, anything goes!

Thanks for the great article! Believe it or not I broke out my metallic
markers to have fun. Of course I couldn't find any sewing thread, but I
do have some string around here. I also didn't have any Delta Color
Mist Spray. I headed to my nearest stamp store (Stamp Diego, El Cajon,
CA), but couldn't find any there. I'll try using some water color.

Try Michaels or Hobby Lobby for the Delta Color Mist.

Thanks a lot. I visited one of the Michael's about 14 miles away and I
did find the Delta Spray. Of course I couldn't tell the difference in
some colors because people had sprayed the colors to see what they
looked like. I didn't stop by Wal-Mart on the way back home because it
was time for the freeway to be crowded with drivers leaving work.

I had to run out and get the Spectra tissue yesterday. It is so much fun. I
have a question. You said you used brushes and sponges. How did you use
them. I tried something that came out really neat. Take a piece of scrap
paper. Lay a piece of Abaca over it. Now layer several torn pieces of the
Spectra over that. Spritz well with water, lay a piece of cardstock over
that and brayer it well. The top piece of carstock will come out with the
color and look of the Abaca. This is hard to describe, I hope this makes
sense. Keep doing this, just moving the top piece of cardstock around until
you like the finished piece. I did it until the whole piece was covered. I
then took the Delta Glitter Mist in Gold and sprayed it lightly over the
cardstock. I do not know if it will matter, but I waited to spray the
Delta until the cardstock was dry.

dried is the best idea. I've sprayed card stock with some color in my
mist sprayer and the colors looked great, that is until the water spots
dried. All that beautiful color disappeared.
When I use a brush (sumi-e) it picks up some of the colors and
transfers it to another color. When I use a sponge, it leaves some of
the sponge design (I have ocean sponges) on the card stock. Using
different items I either get a fully covered card or one with untouched
areas.

I have that tea dye spray - any hints on how to use it. I spritzed it
on paper but it just looked like brown water spots.

with a wet tea bag. An all over look, not spotted. Maybe I'll use a brush
to apply.

You can mist it or hold it under water.
Also, if you are getting large dots, you may have the spray a bit too close to
the paper. Make usre the hole that the spray comes out from is clean also.
Good luck!
