![]() With a paint brush begin to generously paint the entire surface of the printed tissue paper with the medium. Put a small amount of Liquetex Gloss Medium and Varnish in a plastic or paper cup. I’ve have made a variety of prints from the 3 stamps I made, so that I have multiple choices when I am ready to collage.Īfter your prints are dry, lay them on a white trash bag that has been taped flat to a hard surface such as a table top or board. Here I have rolled two shades of purple on the top of the stamp with a sponge roller and with another sponge roller, added two shades of green to the bottom of the stamp. You can experiment and play with the paint colors. Each print will turn out slightly different as you print. You can repeat this process to produce a “ghost” image with another piece of tissue paper, or spritz the stamp with water from a spray bottle to revive the remaining paint. Remove the wax paper and gently pull the tissue off the stamp to reveal your image. Place a piece of wax paper on top of the tissue paper and smooth out with your fingers making sure the tissue has made good contact with the stamp. With the stamp facing up, place a piece of white tissue paper over the stamp. Place your stamp foam side up and roll the paint filled roller over it until it looks like the stamp is covered sufficiently with paint. If you are using 2 colors, roll in a slightly left and right motion to mix the colors in the middle of the roller21. ![]() Tip the sponge roller into your paint and begin rolling out from the paint piles until the sponge roller is filled evenly with paint. Place 1 or 2 colors of acrylic paint on one side of a paper plate and if you are using multiple colors, place them side by side on the plate. I have made 3 different stamps that I plan to print and then use in a collage. Wipe excess gel medium and allow the stamp to dry. Press the pieces down and make sure each piece is secured with gel medium. Glue the pieces to the board by brushing a layer of gel medium over the board surface with a paint brush, and then place the pieces where you want them. I have cut mine to 5” square.ĭraw your design on the fun foam with pencil or marker and cut out the pieces with scissors (or you can cut them out with an XActo knife). Large White Trash Bag (not the flex bags, they have pattern on them)Ĭut both the board and the fun foam to the same size. Here is the supply list for this project:Īcrylic Paint (can be cheap 2oz bottles or tube paint) When the process is complete, only the printed areas remain visible. The one I will talk about today is stamped layers on tissue paper that will be made transparent. There are many ways to add transparent layers to your work. This is added as a second stage, so after I’ve collaged or painted a start, I am ready to add the first transparent layer. ![]() ![]() I can go crazy layering patterns, colors, and designs that all allow what is underneath to show through. This adds depth and history which creates a more interesting piece of art. One of my favorite go-to methods is adding transparent collage layers to my work. I am always prepared to get working when I have papers ready and on hand, so one of the things I do on a regular basis is to have paper making days when all I do for the day is make a whole lot of papers! Then on art making days, that big ole pile of collage paper just beckons to me to dive in and create something awesome! The collage papers that I make often spark ideas and I’m excited to mix and match to see how I can combine the layers. I love adding collage to my mixed media art whether it’s in journals or on a piece that will hang on the wall. This article was written by Elaine Brady Smith
