Bleeding Tissue Paper

This is one of my favorite projects to do with the girls.

First, they draw a picture in pencil. Then they trace the picture with an extra fine point sharpie, in black. Then, the fun. They take a paint brush and brush the paper with water and then apply pieces of colored tissue paper all over the page. Allow to dry for a bit, remove the tissue paper and voila!!! But, it has to be bleeding tissue paper.

This is one of Emma's originals.
