The designs featured on this paper are original vintage ephemera sourced by PaperArtsy and perfect for use in your background layered of your art. Have you thought about using it with wax onto fabric? There are many ways you can roll with this product. Mattints are also another colour option to use with this product.
We recommend PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Matte Glaze as a glue of choice. This is a very liquid glue/ sealant which dries with a matte finish. As tissue becomes extremely fragile when wet, there are 2 methods of application we reccomend:
1. Apply the glaze liberally to the receiving surface. Gently smooth the paper onto the glaze. If you brush over the top too vigorously at this stage you could tear the image easily, so take care to smooth our wrinkles or creases gently, you can lift up and re apply the tissue, it seems to like to be wet before you put it on the surface. Once it is dry, apply a second coat of glaze and over the top, and the tissue should disappear.
2. Working on a non stick craft sheet, apply the Matte glaze to one side of the image you wish to glue down. Let dry. (you can use a gentle heat tool such as the Ranger Heat tool) Flip over and apply glue to the other side. let dry. Now the image will be stronger, and you can glue it into your journal page with more Matte glaze, and the image will be able to be glued and brushed with glaze applied liberally both underneath and on top without tearing.
3. Mattints. PaperArtsy matte-tints are tinted matte glaze (makes sense), so these are perfect for use with Printed Tissues.
The tissue will disappear when wet-glued to a surface (we recommend matte glaze), the runnier the glue, the easier it is to saturate the tissue so it disappears completely. The ink is permanent black, allowing you to add colour to the back or front of the image before adhering.Use a wet paintbrush to create soft 'tear' lines to break up the design.
Use with glue, melted wax, or adhere to fabric and then sew.
