I didn't mean to do it. Nope, I didn't. I know I've been obsessing about Washi tape these days, but I had no intention of using it on this card. It ... just happened.
I chose to use this
MFT sketch:
because I intended to use a lot of my smaller remnants of pretty paper and this seemed perfect. And it was! Lookie:
These are all papers from my Basic Grey PB&J 6x6 pack. See those strips of Washi tape? Afterthought. Yep, I tried two other things there before I went for the tape. It all started with this strip of Bazzill remnant from making
these cards. I thought it was the perfect color to go with these papers. It was, but ... well, look:
It's the right color, but it's very shiny. I had both shiny strips stuck on there, then had to peel them off. I first turned them over to the matte side and stuck them back on, but it just wasn't right. It was only then that I thought to try Washi tape.
The dies used are the MFT Rolled Daisy and the Dizzy Doily Duo. Sentiment is from the Skipping Stones Designs Grunge set.
I have several other sketches stacked up in The Captain's Quarters, plus some ideas from the last two A Cut Above classes I want to try, so I'll be back soon!
Thanks for stopping by!
The Washi tape is much better on this card, that paper is pretty but too shiny. Pretty card.
