I just made some tissue paper flowers for the first time for my Easter cards. I love how they turned out. I especially liked how inking the edges made them look liked dyed carnantions. Thanks for all the wonderful tissue paper ideas.
Cath, I am absolutely in love with tissue paper. I will never see this versatile piece of material the same again!! Thanks for such fun challenge :)
Fun challenge! I hope to find the time to play again!

Thank you for the challenge! It made me stretch beyond paper and ink.
Thanks for the challenge, had fun using the Crepe paper!
Really enjoyed the challenge... seemed to be so excited that when I linked the first time it was to my last Moxie Fab post(sorry Cath). If you could remove entry 42 and keep 43 for me that would be brilliant! Cheers,
Robin
This was such a fun challenge, I'm off to do another!
Love this challenge, Cath! Crepe paper brings back so many memories and it has been such fun to find some and play. Thanks, as always, for the inspiration.
Lovely tissue paper projects, I really like the idea of mock twine and using tissue paper to overlay an image.
Gorgeous projects! Awesome challenge! Thanks!
Love looking at everyone's creations! What "Moxie Fab" folks we are!

I adore tissue and crepe paper! Thanks for hosting a fun event filled with such wonderful ideas!
I had tissue on my desk as I read the challenge! What a fun way to use something already out! Thanks!
I just posted a second card. Thank you for the challenge.

Elementary my dear, remember Eric Carle? I do! This challenge took me back to tissue paper collage, I made a mess of my desk, and loved every minute of it. Not my usualy CAS.
super fun challenge, Cath!
I finally had a chance to play and it was so much fun! I'm looking forward to playing again, even after this challenge ends. Thanks for the ideas and inspiration!
Great challenge! Tissue paper rocks!
This challenge was fun. I dug up a very old "tissue paper" technique for this one!
Sliding in under the wire for this challenge! Tissue paper has proven to be a classic crafting medium. And now I am headed back to check out all the inspiration :)
Well It was surely worth the try !! Use alot of crepe and tissue for school projects but this is sure an innovative challenge to use for cards, gifts and many more !!!!
