\n First I cut the tissue paper in pieces of about 6×6 cm (roughly 2,5×2,5 inches).
\nI painted them (through all layers) with colour matching markers.
\nIt doesn’t matter if there are little white areas.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n I layed the coloured pieces out on plastic foil (e.g. an unused garbage bag) and moisted them with water.
\nThe water makes the colours bleed wonderfully.
\nIt is best to add the water dropwise, this way you can determine best how much water you add (if it gets too wet, the colours bleeds too much and doesn’t stay on the tissue paper).<\/p>\n <\/div>\n In the end I let dry the coloured squares.
\nWhen using them for cardmaking, I mostly only use two or three layers, not all of them.
\nBut you have to try this by yourself.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n<\/a>

<\/div>\n Once I used the same technique on fabric (an old (clean! ;-)) bedsheet) and it worked.
\nThe next time I added too much water and suddenly everything was of the same dull colour. ;-)
\nI think that this colour can be heat set just as the acryl coloured<\/a> or the crayon tinted<\/a> fabric, but I haven’t tried it yet.<\/p>\n
