Sent with love

Altenew goodies are always so lovely. I've been using their 'Vibrant Spray' die cut tape a lot recently and needed to order more from Seven Hills Crafts. Ooopsie, a roll of Altenew's 4.25" wide black and white striped washi tape also fell into my basket at the same time - and here's my first play with it. I had to take the photo at an angle - the sun was streaming in here:
I used:

- 5.5" x 4.25" white card blank, tent style

- piece of white card trimmed to 5.25" x 5.5" or so - just so long as there's extra width on each side, over the width of the washi tape

- then added the washi tape down the 5.25" length of the piece of card (it's called 'Gradient Lines' by Altenew) and wrapped it over the top and bottom of the piece of card

- then trimmed the sides of the resulting panel down to 4" width

- wrapped a piece of Altenew's 'Vibrant Spray' die cut tape around the panel, slightly lower than centre to allow for a sentiment. I had to hold the die cut tape in place with sellotape on the back of the panel BTW

- glued the whole panel to the card front

- added a pre-printed sentiment from the Clarity Stamps 'Clarity Christmas & Celebrations' set (so useful for speed!)

- finished!

Hey, ho - and it's another card for Darnell's NBUS Challenge #15. The 'Gradient Lines' washi tape is NBUS. I already had my pat on the back as a Random Pick - so why not come and play along too?

  1. Well what a super looking card. Who would know that it is washi tape. Been really hot today. Spent the day chasing the shade around the garden and The Dot spent the best part of the day in the Dealers having the Car Mot'd which it failed. Nice hefty bill as a consequence. Hugs Mrs A.

  2. You are an enabler with a capital E, my friend! This is another gorgeous card! I immediately went and bought some of that floral sticker tape after seeing your cards made with it and a coupla other designs also fell into my cart. But, dang it, I didn't see this b/w one. I wonder if they have added more new tapes? Sigh! I'm afraid to go look, lol! Thank you for sharing again with everyone at NBUS! Keep well! Hugs, Darnell

  10. This is beautiful and as with previous use of their washi, it doesn't look like tape and the designs are so beautiful. I love the striking look of the black and white background to the glorious flowers...a great card Di! x
