ISSC34

This weeks challenge at iSpy is one of my favourite so far.  When Kim set the challenge for the DT she also mentioned it would e a great one for washi tape. Mmmmmm that got me thinking and playing!  I have not used washi tape before and now that I have I am hooked!  It is so versatile, quick and easy to use and adds another dimension to your creative project.

So the sketch at iSpy this week features Joanne Basile (basilefamily @ SCS) and is based on this card

Here is the sketch:

 

 

and this is the card I created:

 

 

I decided to allow the circular doily element to overhang the side of the card a little, use some banners and try and incorporate washi tape in a few different ways.

 

The first thing I did with the washi tape was create  quick and easy panels at the top of the card and on the centre of the doily.  Then I layered up some strips of washi tape on some cream card and die cut my banners and rolled rose from them.  Then from the scraps I grabbed my favourite butterfly punch and created some two toned butterflies to layer up on the tag. Finally i grabbed a little mini peg and covered that with the tape.

 

 

 

Materials Used:

 

Paper - Echo Park Country Drive, cream cardstock

 

Dies - MFT die - namics Dainty Doily Medium, First Place Award Ribbon (fishtail banners) and Mini Rolled Rose
