This week's technique challenge on SCS is to use Washi tape or make some. I had picked up a few patterns of tape while exploring some shops in Des Moines with my daughter last November (Small Business Saturday!) As of Monday I had not started to unroll any of them so I vowed to try them out this week.
This simple card uses up the last of the butterflies that I had stamped with Liz's Papillon set which she shared with me last month. I really need to order this set for myself today! The greeting is from Teeny Tiny Verses. It's not a card that has any particular recipient in mind but someday I'm sure I'll be glad it's in my card stash.
Quite the picture, huh? I think I chose this tape because the background color to the roses looked like Pool Party and I was right. It was a great match. The gingham came along because I wanted to make sure I had something to go with the roses. I ended up moving the tape around a little and wrapping the gingham around the bottom edge card stock so that it didn't overpower the rose tape. The Real Red trim above the roses is from my Tasteful Trim die. I adhered the trim to another piece of paper so that I coud use my paper trimmer to cut it down the middle.
Here's close-up of my Pool Party embossed Secret Garden Flower. What do you think of my leaves?
