The serifs on the Big Notes III set put me in a vintage mood, that I encouraged with one of the vintage look Washi Tape floral stamps.
With ten stamps in the Washi tape set, there's one for every taste. I'm a newcomer to Washi. It's only recently that I've started seeing it here in France and it's still not easy to find. A quality to Washi is its transparency so I decided to play that up with the stamps by stamping on transparent paper. I was super impressed with how these stamps performed. I cut the ends ragged to mimic tape.
I used them on the inside of the card as well.
Doesn't it look just like tape?! You don't ever after to worry about running out and you can create in any color you choose to match your projects.

ReplyDeleteI love that you used washi tape for a vintage card. The whole reason why I never have like washi tape is that it is too trendy for me. You proved that it's not! I love the transparent paper idea and plan to "steal" it from you! hee hee
