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!!

This is beautiful Julia. So classic and elegant. Your Washi make a great border and adds so much to this design. I hope you had as much fun with this challenge as I did. I went a little WASHI-CRAZY and created WAY too much, so I'll be adding that stuff in on projects for a while...LOL
