Ribbon Carousel Challenge 90 - Washi Tape
Hey everyone!
This month's Ribbon Carousel challenge is Washi tape. Everyone has a ton, right?
I thought I would take the opportunity to knock out a couple more birthday cards for Andrew's kids at school.
I love how versatile washi is. It's a great alternative to using patterned paper or a background stamp
For the card above I put down a mix of washi tape diagonally. Then I used a scrap of cardstock and laid down several rows of black and white polka dot washi from which the 'happy' was die cut. I die cut the 'birthday' from regular cardstock, adhered it to some vellum, and then adhered that to the card using some very strategically cut and placed pieces of foam tape. I wasn't sure how my adhesive would work on the washi, but Tombow Multi Mono works like a charm.
I figured while I was at it I would make another card with an extra die cut sentiment I had, so I just randomly added some strips of washi to a cardstock panel and adhered the sentiment on top.
Now it's your turn. Create a project using washi and link it up over at the Ribbon Carousel. One random participant will win a set of 12 spools filled with 4 spools each of seam binding, baker's twine, and May Arts ribbon.
