Welcome to Washi Tape Tuesday! Love washi tape? (Or maybe you have a stash that you want to put to use?) Then join me for tips, techniques and ideas for adding washi tape to your handmade cards!
Today’s card is super quick and easy to do—and (hooray!) uses up some of the cardstock I’ve had stashed in my “use it someday” pile. I’d made a batch of brayered backgrounds and so I was glad to put this one to use. It’s easy to make: Just uncap your bottle of Dylusions, get some on your craft sheet, then pick up the color with a brayer and apply it to cardstock. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I have to remind myself that just because it says “color spray” doesn’t mean I can only use it to spray! 🙂 Anyway, it’s a great background for washi tape!
