1) First I place 1 layer of tissue paper onto cardstock or my pattern paper. Spread it out a bit.
There is no need to use adhesive.
2) Then I paint over the tissue with diluted acrylic paints. When the paint goes over, the tissue naturally sticks to your paper.
3) The end result is you get a nice texture background like this.
4) I like this technique cos it adds interest to a pattern paper and also it can be used as a colour block to mat the photo.
Here are some of my examples: Using yellow arcylic paints
"Little Dreamer"..... using Websters Pages
See the textures!
Another example using Crate Paper :
