Washi, washi, washi

Inspiration Post for March 17 at Feeling Sketchy - by Debi Clark



















I just love using Washi tape, so thought I would show you a few techniques 
that I use & have gone into making my card. 
My card is based on the Feeling Sketchy #80 sketch.

















1.       I have used older & large chipboard alphas, that I probably wouldn’t have used otherwise. Then I patiently sat & wrapped the washi around the alphas.
















2.  It then looks just like this!
2. Another technique is to have some backing paper, & layer on washi tape .......


like this....









Then draw a shape or two, whatever you like - I made triangles...









Fussy cut them out...












Then decorate your card as you choose!
I used the washi chippie alphas, the washi flags & then edged my card with more washi.
What do you think??















Thank you for looking...Happy Scrapping!

Cheers, Debi

Love, Love, Love




I was sent a wonderful little pack of the new range American Crafts 'Daydreamer' from the lovely Chelsea at ScrapBoutique. 
And I decided to use this challenge for March from Orange Paperie as an inspiration.

The challenge is to use a vintage photo with non vintage colours.  So here is a B & W wedding photo of hubby & I which is vintage...37 years ago, with Kraft, reds, grey & yellow tones.

 We both wore blue to our wedding, so it is scrap this B & W photo with fave colours of mine.

Thank you for looking,

Hugs xx
