DCM - Wishi Washi

It’s Jo’s turn to set the challenge this week over at The Daring Cardmakers, and she’s chosen ‘Wishi Washi’.  She wants us to use Washi Tape on our cards this week.

Well, I had all intentions of buying some tape – I even saw some in Liberty’s a few weeks ago that I thought I’d pop back and get, but somehow I just didn’t and ended up with a bit of a dilema about how to make a card without any!  Luckily Jo had some ideas for how to make your own by printing onto tracing paper.  Whilst rummaging in my stash for tracing paper, I came across some vellum that had a gold music note print, and I decided to have a go with that instead of printing something.  It worked really well, and is definitely something I’d use again – it’s nice to be able to see the patterned paper underneath shining through.

It’s a shame it doesn’t show well in this pic – but the little frame around the text is actually embossed in a lovely pearly green powder called Sea Mist Pearl.  It looks much nicer than the murky brown in this pic!

oooh I might have some of that vellum lurking in the dim recesses of my crafting stash. What a clever way to use it. Love the flower too Sharon
