Elegant lady in Washi Card

As you know, washi tape continues to be hot.  Personally I LOVE it! 

The card has two layers of washi tape. 
  • The first layer I used different patterned colored tapes on a mat.  For my second layer I used a black and white translucent tape.
  • I added the torn washi paper in the middle.
  • I added a punched circle of light blue stardream paper behind the head of the woman because the pattern was swallowing her up.
The Lady:
  • I stamped the lady onto white cardstock in StazOn black. (Take a look at Fran's own stamps - www.franticstamper.com - she has a number of Erte images.)
  • I colored in Spectrum Noire
  • Then I carefully cut out the image and attached it to my card with mounting tape.



Close Up!

I love Erte (accent on the last "e").  He was a French artist.  Once you are familiar with his work, you will recognize the style.  It's unique.

I added the pink pearls using a Viva Decor paint pen.



You can really see the two layers of washi tape.

I hope that you are inspired to try two layers of washi on your next card!
