Washi tape!

This card features the new washi tape.  I've seen washi tape described as decorative masking tape.  It's also semi-transparent.  We made this card at my workshop last week.  We started with note cards and added the strip of Epic Day washi tape.  The sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes is stamped in Smoky Slate.  The larger butterfly (Papillion Potpourri) is stamped in Crisp Cantaloupe, topped with a Calypso Coral layer and some pearls.  (I got the idea for this card from a similar layout on Pinterest done in all black.)

It would be so easy to make a set of these to give to someone as a gift!

Happy stamping!

 

Spring butterflies

It is -17 degrees in Duluth right now, and I am ready for spring!  I recently got the Papillon Potpourri set along with both sizes of the butterfly punch, and I thought the butterflies would be perfect for a spring card.

I stamped the butterflies onto Whisper White cardstock, using black craft ink.  I sprinkled on Irridescent Ice EP and then heat embossed.  Tip: When heating the Irridescent Ice, overheating will melt the glitter!  I watercolored the butterflies with ink and an aquapainter.  I used Riding Hood Red, Tangerine Tango, and Daffodil Delight.  After they dried, I punched them out.  I love that the punches fit the stamps exactly with no white around the edges!

For the orange layer, I chose a sheet of DSP from Summer Smooches.  I stamped the largest label from Layered Labels in Tangerine Tango then cut it out using the Big Shot.  I used the Essentials paper piercing pack around the edges then added white gel pen stitches.

The banner is 4 X 1 1/2 Real Red Coredinations cardstock embossed with the Fancy Fan embossing folder then sanded.  I used the 1 3/8 square punch to cut the tail at the bottom.  The cardbase is Daffodil Delight.

Happy stamping!
