Some time ago I bought a DoCraft Grab bag which contained several rolls of Washi Tape and then, while on holiday, I bought some more rolls of very shiny Washi Tape.
I have been using a roll of the DoCraft tape to secure my sets of cards when I post them off and had a tiny amount left. I used some of the shiny tape to form a background on the first card and then added the last piece of the DoCraft tape.
I attached a 'luggage' label, also from the Grab Bag, by tying some thread in a bow and securing with a glue dot.
I wanted my second card to be totally different but still use several tapes so I sorted a pretty pink background paper to which I attached assorted tape, making banners which I highlighted in a deeper pink. The tape across the top of the card unified all the tapes but now the pink background looked very plain! I decided to enhance the colours using cotton buds as a paint brush with an inkpad.My third card was to be a framed image, and I knew exactly which one image I would use.
I bought some batik stamps from the Evesham craft show so I thought I would try using them for this swap. I am not very good with stamping ...... have I said this before?!?! After much trial and error I decided to use my 'man' stamp, he's dancing and he's happy!! Did I tell you that I am not much good at stamping?!?!? After several attempts, I manage to print a reasonable image .... almost in the middle! I framed this using a polka dot tape. This ATC may not look much but it has taken me almost three hours to get this far!! Far more effort has gone into this card but I am so pleased with the result.
I have received the following cards:-
Pink shoes and handbags washi tape with a super buckle.
