Howdy fellow stamp lovers!!! It's time for another fun and fabulous challenge for
Timeless Tuesday Challenge!
This week our lovely hostess,
Deborah, is challenging us to...
Thanks Deb for a fabulous challenge this week.... you see, I am a washi hoarder!
Yup... I admit it! But for some reason I hardly ever use it so this week's challenge was a great push to use all the fun washi tapes I have stashed away. Okay... so I truthfully only used one but that's a start right?
LOL!
For some reason, I had Christmas on my mind for this week's card... so I went with it!
So I began with a simple die cut circle for my step-card and then I stamped the leaves and berries image from the glorious "
Winter Berries" stamp set using "
Rich Cocoa" Memento ink on to Flourishes
Classic Ivory Cardstock.
I coloured in my image using Copic Markers:
E30, E31, E33, R43, R46, R56,
YG21, TG93, YG95, YG97 and YR000.
With my circle still in the die, I added some Ranger Distress Inks, "
Antique Linen" and "
Tea Dye", to the edges to make the ivory frame stand out a little more. Then I added some pretty lace to the back and also an inked die cut piece with some pearls.
For my greeting, it also came from the "
Winter Berries" stamp set. I used "
Rich Cocoa" Memento ink on to Flourishes
Classic Ivory Cardstock and then fussy cut it for my card front.
Now... where is my washi tape you ask? Actually... it's the
red and white stripes on the bottom of the front panel and it's also in my back panel too. It's a cool thin washi tape made by Tim Holtz!
For the finishing touch, I used my Sakura "
Glaze" pen and added some shine to my berries and sentiment...
Thanks for stopping by today!
I do have a bit of sad news though... I have made the decision to step down from Flourishes at the end of the month. I've had an amazing time creating with some truly out standing ladies at Flourishes over the years. And Jan Marie and Mike have been so good to me but I know it's time to move on to new things... exciting things! I'll be sharing my "exciting things" news on the 15th here on my blog. So stay tuned!
And some happy news.... this is officially my 1400th blog post and I wanna reward one of my readers! I have a variety of brand new Flourishes stamp sets in my possession that you can't buy at the moment and YOU could be the proud new owners of them!!! HOW you ask? Just simply leave a comment below... it's as simple as that! I will randomly choose a winner and post them on next week's Timeless Tuesday post! Good luck!
Come and join along with us this week for our washi tape inspired challenge! Be sure to visit the rest of the DT’s blogs and leave them a little blog love too….
Thanks for stopping by!
