Create your own bespoke, tie dyed cardstock with
this stunning transfer technique!
By Rahmat GouseT
ie dye takes me back to my childhood. My first experience with it was when
I was in grade 5, and I did tie dye on fabric as part of school work. I used a
white cotton cloth with chickpeas and thick twine and dyed it red. Later it was
used as a tablecloth by my mom!
Tissue transfer is something I started doing from 2014. I was just transferring regular
designed tissues onto cardstock for my craft projects.
I have combined these 2 techniques to come up with this brilliant end product to be
used in my craft projects. The results are endless with various colour combinations
and the tie dye patterns can vary as well.
I had used liquid watercolours from CrafTangles to do the tie dye on the tissue. It works
fine on both plain face tissues or thick kitchen towels. I have used both here as examples.Designer
