A trio of Washiness!

Ok, I made that up but as a word, it does a good job of describing the three cards I’m sharing with you today!!  I haven’t ever dared to enter the Gallery Idol contest before but for some reason I thought I would have a go this year!  The theme for the “open auditions” is to use Washi or fabric tape in “cool/creative/gorgeous ways”!  Well, I don’t know if these cards fit the brief but I quite like how they turned anyway!  I actually only own about 5 rolls of washi tape – it wasn’t a trend that I really embraced – but I have to say – I loved playing with it!  I particularly like it’s translucent quality which lent itself well to my first card:

My second card features my favourite red polka dotty washi in the form of a little birthday banner!

And my third and final entry uses the washi tape as decorative paper and was die cut with my favourite Avery Elle die.

hello

If you haven’t taken a look at the gallery of entries this year then you should check it out – who knew there were so many ways to use Washi Tape??!!!  

I’m afraid I can’t link to the rolls of washi tape I used as I can’t remember where I bought them or who makes them!!

  1. I totally fell in love with the idea of the band-aid. I use washitape a lot, but this idea is really cool and creative. It inspired me to make a band-aid-card too, I hope you don’t mind. Off course I added a link to your blog, to show where my inspiration came from. 🙂 Greetings, Miranda
