Washi!

Washi Tape
Our challenge at Less is More this week is to use washi tape and I have made a few cards using some bought and some home made tape.
This one is from Tim Holtz and is a simple Stampin' Up image coloured partly with ink and partly with a marker.
Here is the same image but this time using home-made washi tape. Simply tissue paper, backed with double sided tape, stamped and cut into strips. Easy Peasy!

This is back to using the Tim Holtz tape, which matches the design on the bird from A Day for Daisies.
I think it's such a cute image!
I have had an abscess around one of my teeth and to date have had two sessions of root canal work. It has not been the most pleasant of times and I now have to wait for a few weeks until I have the final treatment. I'll just keep taking the anti-biotics and hope that it all goes away!

  4. Three all lovely examples for what you can do with the washi tape challenge. I love the little birdie one and I hope it has come to tell you that everything will be just fine with your tooth. I wish you a speedy recovery.

  14. Chrissie, these are really pretty! I especially LOVE that bird with the music Washi frame and am pinning it!!

    I'm so sorry to hear about your horrible dental proceedings! Mouth pain and the required care is the worst!

    I keep meaning to ask if you ever saw the card I entered back a while ago for the sexy shoes challenge. I was very late entering. It will give you a needed chuckle if you haven't seen it before! Big hugs! Darnell
