Today's tutorial guides you with colorful inspiration from 80's NEONS
to create a fabric collage canvas using my fave ILoveTo Create
products. Being a teen in the 80's I was obsessed with bright and neon
colors, it's probably why you see so much of these colors in my art.
You'll start by creating painted tissue paper, then draw a design on
fabric and add collage to finish it up. This project is a great for many applications...it can be used as an
art journal cover, art quilting, fabric scrapbook pages... you could
event make fabric Project Life cards. I'm using it as a cover for my
Spring DIY calendar + planer. So many fun possibilities!
creative toolbox:
PART ONE: create 80's splattered & painted tissue paper
Create painted tissue paper to use as collage papers using a variety of Tulip & Scribbles paints and pens.
STEP ONE: draw circles and ovals onto white tissue paper with Scribbles 3D paint pens.
Step
TWO: fold over half of tissue paper and press over the wet paint to
transfer the print to create a mirror print on tissue paper
STEP
three: continue to draw/doodle on the tissue paper with various
dimensional paint and press the tissue paper into the wet paint to add
more prints. Here I doodles a flower shape.
STEP
four: spray Tulip Fabric Sprays through plastic needlepoint canvas to
create prints, then turn the needlepoint canvas over to press the
remaining wet paint onto the tissue paper. let dry.

PART TWO: girlie GLAM canvas
STEP
one: While painted tissue paper is drying, begin to work on creating
the canvas. Draw and doodle with Tulip Fabric markers. Scribble with
Neon pink & Neon orange markers on the edge of the Osnaburg fabric
STEP two: continue to draw a design onto the fabric with the Tulip Fabric
Markers. Tulip Fabric Markers are permanent. I drew one of my signature
Girlie Glam faces and added a little journaling words woven into her hair.
STEP
three: Add texture to the canvas by drawing with Tulip Slick dimensional
paint.
I
used the Neon pink and Teal colors to add accents over my Girlie Glam
face doodle. I love to create little dots and dashes with the paint.
Tulip
Dimensional paint is by far the best dimensional paint on the market. It
has a
very small applicator tip, so you are able to produce very thin
detailed lines when drawing. TIP: squeeze the bottle lightly and touch
the applicator tip to the surface while you move quickly over the
surface drawing. Check out my Puffy Paint prints tutorial for more creative ways to use the Tulip dimensional paints.

PART THREE: tissue paper collage
Tulip Dimensional paint is dry to the touch within
an hour or so depending on the climate, but takes 24 hours to fully
cure. I let both the tissue paper and painted canvas dry overnight.
STEP
one: Trace around the bottom of the Collage Pauge and Fabric Fusion
bottles to create different sized circles. Cut them out using scissors
and place them onto the fabric canvas.
Place a dollop of Collage Pauge onto a palette or in a cup, I used a piece of aluminum foil.
Apply
a generous layer of Collage Pauge Matte onto the surface of the canvas
underneath where you want to adhere each cirlce. Work in small areas at a
time to avoid letting the Collage Pauge dry to quickly. Brush another
layer of Collage Pauge onto the top of the circular collage piece.
When the Collage Pauge is slightly damp, I prefer to iron the canvas between two pieces of parchment. Set the iron to medium heat and slowly iron the collage section to flatten wrinkels and air bubbles, be careful not to iron the dimensional paint because it might flatten. This also seals the Collage Pauge into the fabric and makes a nice smooth surface. Make sure to cover both sides so you don't get excess medium on your ironing surface.
Happy creating! xoxo~Traci
