Got Washi?

I played another OWH VCMP challenge, this one is to use washi tape. Um okay, I just might have some of that, but I needed a starting point. I went to my DO THESE CHALLENGES THIS WEEKEND pile to see if any sketches would work, and the current MFT sketch caught my eye:

Next, I needed a color. So I went back to my pile of challenges and found three color challenges, selected washi tape for each of them, and got started.

Here's the first card:

I used three pieces of tape - light grey, dark grey and yellow - for the sketch's horizontal element. For the flower element on the card I used a group of candles from a Hero Arts stamp. I colored them with Copics and cut them out. Remind me not to do that again when I make more than one card. ;/

The washi tape colors are from the current Inspired By challenge:

I also made another card by switching out one of the greys for a red:

For all of these, I used a banner and sentiment from a set by Avery Elle, and colored the banner's border to coordinate with the tapes. I used the same markers to color the candles.

Next card:

Because the candles looked a bit disembodied, I poked holes on either side of them and tied some twine around them.

This color combination was inspired by this color challenge from The Play Date Cafe:

And you'd be correct if you exclaim YOU USED ORANGE WASHI, NOT PINK! My bad. I decided to go with it anyway, since it's inspired by the challenge palette.

Last one:

When I was making the banners I realized there's a faux stitching stamp in the set, so I stamped it on the banners before I cut them out, then I stamped it onto the cards before I stuck on the banners. I even got a few of them straight.

The colors came from the current challenge at Just Add Ink:

So there you have it: 5 challenges tackled and 4 more cards for OWH. Whoot!

Okay, I might have time to sneak in one more challenge tonight.

Thanks for stopping by!
