Vintage Travel Mid week motivation

Hello every one it's Suzi b here and its my turn to provide the mid week motivation.

I thought I'd have a go at making tissue tape using masking tape. OK so masking tape isn't tissue paper, but it could do a similar job!  Lets have a go.

I wanted to make  mail art using this envelope but off course being a vintage theme I needed to cover the red lettering. I covered it firstly with two layers of masking tape that had been blended over with DI Vintage Photo and Tea Die. I then did the same to a third piece of masking tape and over stamped with a vintage travel map stamp.

This is how it looked before I peeled  the tape off the craft mat

Close up

The finished envelope is much more grungy than I intended so it's Steam Punk Vintage Travel !

Have a go at using masking tape to make your own tissue tape.. then it can be any colour any theme. 

 I've no idea what other people use when making tissue tape
 perhaps I'll pop across to You Tube to find out.

I've been having a play!
