Just because you like something SO much doesn't mean you have to use it on every card. I SO love the Washi tape and as I was finishing up this Halloween card I thought I would add a strip of the orange Washi tape. As I was assembling the card I saw how ugly it looked on it. I should have left it off. I didn't want to try to remove it. I've had problems with my paper ripping when I've done that. SO I just left it for you all to see what NOT to do!!! It's not too wide that I can't cover it with a strip of card stock punched with the Ribbon punch. I will be doing that later and adding it to my card to cover that Washi tap!
So onto the rest of the card. I used the Greeting Card Kids set (one that I am betting will retire come spring!) and the Delightful Dozen word set. I masked over the pumpkin on the image and just stamped the words using black StazOn.
I colored in the girl using markers and a blender pen. I had not colored like that in a while and found it a bit relaxing. I punched out the girl using the 2-1/2" circle punch and sponged the edges using Pumpkin Pie ink.
I used the Venetian Romance decorative paper on the left side. And of course the Washi tape, ugh!!! And I added a paper doily behind the little girl image.
It was a fun card to do up until the Washi tape! Lesson learned. I think I should put strips of Washi tape on a piece of card stock and trim them down so I can just lay them on my card before I make it permanent and see if I like it or not. Now why didn't I think of that sooner? LOL
Thank you SO much for visiting today,
