Hello there stamping friends! Happy Easter, to those who celebrate the holiday. This week at the Paper Players, the lovely Nance is our hostess with a super-fun challenge. It's CAS (clean and simple) week and the twist is to feature one of my absolute favorite craft supplies: washi tape. I don't know about you but I have an enormous collection of washi tape in my stamp room. It's a quick and easy way to add a pop of color or pattern to a project.
For my card, I went with SU! Gingham Garden Designer Washi Tape because I love the bright and cheery colors and patterns. I used markers to color in the stamped phrase and a tiny punched butterfly for dimension. Finally some bling and colored Candy Dots to dress it up a bit. The strip of embossing is not SU! but I really felt like the card needed something to tie the two corners of washi tape patterns together on the card.This was a super easy card to make and I actually didn't use 10 layers on a CAS card, like I tend to do. Ha! I loved this challenge and it really got me excited to actually USE some of that washi tape I am hoarding.
Please join us over at the Paper Players! The challenge is open through Friday, April 25th, 2014 at Noon (PDT). Stop by and say hello to the rest of the Design Team to see what they are sharing this week.

Love that embossed strip in the center, Anne Marie! It really adds that finished and balanced effect to the washi corners. Love the colorful sentiment too. And Ozzy looks so happy!! Love that photo of him!
ReplyDeleteClean and beautiful, Anne Marie! I love the sentiment!
ReplyDeleteFabulous use of washi tape, AM! Love that you featured all three designs in the pack and how you've incorporated the colors into the sentiment. Perfect layout, the whole card is washi-tas-tic! (love that word!) So glad you had fun with this challenge! ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteAM, I love the way you colored the sentiment to echo the washi tape. I also love the fact that the washi tape comes in from both sides and the addition of the embossed area is fabulous. Gorgeous card, my friend
