Washi Woes

Morning all,

Less is More has a Washi tape theme this week. I have a love/hate relationship with washi tape - all those rolls hanging up at the shops look so pretty and cry out for me to buy them. But then I get home and there they sit gathering dust until a challenge like this one comes along:









 I layered the washi on some strips of card and die cut them using the dies from PTI's Lovely Layers. The sentiment is from the matching stamp set.  It looked a bit bare so I stencilled a background with some gesso to add a bit of texture. 

I'm also entering this into the AAA Card Challenge where the theme is die cuts.

Hope you get the time to join in with a few challenges this weekend! Thanks for stopping,

Claire x

  2. This is a really elegant design. I love how it's got a formal layout but softened by the patterns and warm colours - fabulous! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More :)

  4. What a magnificent card Claire. A really imaginative use of the gorgeous washi tapes on a classy and visually striking design. Those colours really have a wow factor against the subtle honeycomb background. Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Less is More xx
