A Washi Tape Wedding

Can you tell what the strips of color are on my card today?!   If you guessed Washi Tape - you are correct. (big clue in my post title right!?!?!)

The big surprise is - that I made my own -  with the help of Claire's wonderful Monday Morning Make tutorial over on the Waltzingmouse Blog. this week.

I used pale pink and purple tissue paper that I had saved from gifts I've received (yes, I'm a hoarder!)  I adhered strips of masking tape over the back of the tissue paper - then cut out the strips.  Next I stamped the strips.  I used a background stamp from Pic-Nic Patterns on the pink tape using Shaded Lilac Distress Ink.  I stamped a flourish stamp from Flourishes - Scallops and Dots on the dark purple tissue paper with Dusty Concord Distress Ink.  I adhered my tape to card using Scor Tape. (Note to self - check out Michaels for double sided tape like Claire used!) I stamped the sentiment from Big Day Additions in the center of the card - adding 3 purple rhinestones for a little glitter.

So how about making some of your own Washi Tape?  Then link your card over at the WMS blog - Claire will pick a random winner who will get to choose a free large Waltzingmouse stamp set!!
