Let's Patch Things Up

Happy Saturday Crafty Friends!

Today is my Designer day over at Pink By Design, and I'm sharing a a quick card I mad using some washi tape and one of the 'Half Pints' sets, "Pocket Full".

Do you pin? I find it not only addicting, but also inspiring!

I've had some washi tape for a while now, but was never quite sure what to do with it. Then I saw a cute card one night while "pinning" and thought I could give it a try.



Now, this was a bit hard for me because I like everything to be cut crisp and straight. (It's a problem, I know) So I was really crafting 'outside my box' when I tore the tapes. And I had to just lay them down without following any pattern. But did you notice that I tried to lay them down straight and perpendicular to the edges, with even spacing between? :)

Supplies:

Cardstock

Washi tape in 3 colors/patterns, torn and randomly laid down

PbD "Pocket Full" sentiment

Sticky pink gems


I love these new mini sets! You get the same quality stamps, both images and sentiments, but at a lower price point!

Here is a link to the card I found and used as inspiration, http://pinterest.com/pin/274930752223059935/

I really like how it turned out! And I love that washi tapes are repositionable! It makes it easier to play with :)

Thanks for stopping by!
