This is beautiful!! The colors are so soft and pretty together!! I am trying this technique right now but I had a problem with my tissue paper tearing. I thought I was using to much future but even when I tried using less it still tore really easy. Any suggestions??? THANKS!!

Thank you everyone for all your sweet words!
Shonac, I found that if the Future was totally dry it peeled right off. If it was still a little damp, the tissue would tear. Try letting it dry overnight?

I'm sorry I didn't make myself clear. It's not the first time!! I should have said that the tissue paper tears as I am putting the future and ink on it.
How did you get your colors blended so beautifully?? Mine look more like blobs!! The tissue paper would tear if I tried to blend them more!! THANKS for your help!!

Shonac, I poured on a little puddle of the Future, moved it around gently with the paintbrush, added the reinkers and then added a little more Future. I found by adding a little more Future, I could swoosh the colors around with tearing the tissue. Good luck!

Great card, love the background and the image looks great with it. We have hardwood floors and I didn't have the floor wax so looking forward to the next challenge. Thanks for sharing!
