Happiest Birthday

Hello, crafty friends; it is Washi Tape Wednesday.
 
For today's card, I am playing with some washi tape I found at Staples. The design is simple, but I love the way it turned out. Please ignore the wet glue, I was too impatient to let it dry before I took the photo.

I applied the strips of washi tape to a panel of white cardstock, die-cut a small black frame, and glued it to the panel.


I used a sentiment strip that popped up with foam tape, then finished the card with some gems; I adhered the panel to the card front with foam tape.

Supplies: White and black cardstock, Washi tape, Simon Says Stamp - sentiment strip, gems.

Happy crafting,

Celebrate

Hello, crafty friends; I have a mixed media card of sorts to share today.

I started with some watercolour paper and glued die-cut leaves and flowers. Once the glue was dry, I sprayed the panel with water and some Dylusions ink sprays.

I let the panel dry and then added some gray ink around the edges and spots of silver on the edges of the flowers and leaves.


I die-cut the sentiment from white cardstock, added some gray ink, and then made a shadow out of black cardstock. I adhered the shadow to the sentiment with foam tape.

I added black gems to finish the card.
