Use texture paste and tissue paper to create a collage!

Steps

• Step 1
  Cut the railroad board to desired size (6x8” used in examples).
• 
  Step 2
  Make an interesting design with the modeling tools and texture medium. Let the paste dry overnight.
• 
  Step 3
  Cut or rip shapes out of the tissue to match all of the patterns created by the texture paste in your design.
• 
  Step 4
  Using glue in a decoupage-like manner, paste the tissue paper to the design. Use firm pressure to push the tissue into all of the grooves of the paste so the design stands out.
• Optional Tip 1
  The more the texture paste stands off of the railroad board, the more your design will show once covered with tissue paper.
• Optional Tip 2
  Leave blank areas on the railroad board, which will create a more dramatic design (don't cover the entire board with texture paste).
• Optional Tip 3
  Try adding embellishments, such as glitter or sand.
• Optional Tip 4
  Mix different types of tissues, such as bleeding tissue, for a varied effect.
