I can say a lot about wet-strength tissue, and in the posts below, much of that is addressed at length. So, just a quick note here --
Because they offer a parade of layering choices, wet-strength tissues are versatile, sturdy and SO much easier to work with than regular tissue such as giftwrap tissue.
However! Some tissue being marketed as having "wet strength" is no better than giftwrap tissue from a dollar store. Carnival is the only brand that I trust ... and this trust comes from experience.
I'm taking a delightful online art-making class that includes, on its supply list, tissue of the regular/giftwrap quality. So, I ordered a package of bright, rich colors that Joseph would have loved to've had in his coat. Opened the package and set to work on one of these online classes --
-- and before long, my language became more colorful than those tissues!
"Bleeding" tissue paper, BTW, is likewise to be avoided if making collage. This tissue "bleeds" its colors when introduced to moisture. It's a quality that can create beautiful artwork, but most of the time, I wouldn't include collage as one of the areas where it would work out well.
Have fun with your tissue paper and your stencils!
