Hi everyone! A fun project for you today using my favorite thing...Freckled Fawn washi tape! This card is based on the latest Vintage Cafe Card Challenge sketch. Be sure to play along if you'd like.
I covered Maya Road Mixed Scallop Mini Chipboard Pendant Banners with washi tape in a couple of different patterns and love how they turned out. Using washi tape on chipboard is a quick and easy way to dress up chipboard vs. covering it in paper. After I applied the washi, I distressed the edges with sandpaper and distress ink, just like I would with paper and then added a light coating of glitter. I love the effect and how it alters the look just a bit.
For this card I used Freckled Fawn's Chevron Mint and Music Note washi...both are currently sold out, but here are a couple of others I am excited to try on a similar card:
I also used Papertrey Ink's Background Basics: Postmarks and Say it With Style stamp sets and lovely scrunched seam binding from Craft Spot. The paper and die cut are from Studio Calico and the scalloped chipboard across the top from Basic Grey.
Enjoy your Saturday!

A beautiful card...I am going to have to try this with the washi tape...but I still haven't even gotten a chance to try the owl...I will have crafting time once my lil one is back in school but I am busy enjoying my time with him right now. Summer goes by soooo fast!
