Washi Tape with an Elegant Victorian Lady

I've been using washi tape a lot lately.  It seems that no matter which colors I use and in what order, the cards always come out nice!  I try to follow two simple rules:

1. alternate dark and light colors
2. add variety with patterns

I matted the picture on black cardstock and then took a round punch to make the corners.

Hope to see you again soon!

Washi Tape with Owl

Hey! Guess what!  Today is my birthday!  Happy birthday to me!

I love today's card!  There are actually three layers to this one.  The base layer which is the card base itself is covered diagonally with washi tape.  The second layer (and mat) is covered with washi tape horizontally.  The third layer with the owl on it is convered by the same waashi tape but vertically.  I must admit that it's a lot for the eye to take in but every time I look at this card I notice something different. So, it does keep my attention.

All three layers are attached with mounting tape.

Close Up!

I love this Steampunk Owl (Jolie's Boutique).

And the hand! (You guessed it Jolie's Boutique).

I wanted to show you both layers of tape: one diagonal and one horizontal.

You can see the corner well in this photo. I am using black colored washi tapes to accent the corners.

Thanks for stopping by!

Layered Washi Tape Card

I experimented with double layers of washi tape in this card.  Washi tape is transluscent (you can see through it). So, I used some plain and some stripe to see what it would do.  Fabulous!

I like the contrast between the blue stripe and the yellow tapes.

I love the paper flower accent with the gem.  It's unexpected.

Come back again soon!

Washi Tape with Clock

Hi!  Well, everyone is really into washi tape but I don't see a lot of examples on the web so if you know of someone who is doing a lot with this wonderful tape, let me know and drop me a line!

As for me, I am experimenting and finding even more ways to use this beautiful tape (watch in a couple of weeks for a BIG surprise!)

For this card I just added diagonal lines of tapes. I didn't use a mat.  All you see here is the base card.

Close Up!

Don't you just love this clock sticker? It's from the Jolie's Boutique Parcel Line.

The beige tape is from Michaels - it's their own line (Remembrance I think).  Also, I did add the gold writing (a separate tape) on top of the "type" tape.

Come back next weekend for more washi tape ideas!
