Description:

You will be creating one piece of mailart for one partner using prints done with tissue paper. If you haven't yet played with tissue paper on your gelli plate, I am sure you will be thrilled with the results. I start with white paper and do a one pull technique adding lots of texture to my plate before printing. Once dry, tissue paper can easily be adhered and collaged to paper panels to create one of a kind notecards, envelopes, postcards, etc. I have had a lot of fun stamping out my paper and then layering my paper directly over it. I use a Zig wide adhesive pen as well as thinned modge podge. I find tearing edges give a nice smooth look when blending multiple prints to one project and when working with paper panels, I normally wrap the tissue around to the back. Okay - one piece of mailart, senders choice, to one partner. Have fun!

For this swap, can delli paper be used interchangeably with tissue paper? Or is there enough of a difference that we should make sure to use only tissue paper?

I have not had the chance to work with deli paper yet. I would assume it is pretty similar though. I think it would be fine if you don't keep tissue paper on hand!

Just to clarify, are you printing directly on the tissue paper, or just layering it on top of a print? If you haven't had a chance to print on deli paper, you really must give it a try!
