Good morning.
Let's talk Washi tape.
It all seemed good at the time I bought it. Pretty colourful patterns and designs. I have some rolls of it but it sits in a bag as I try and figure out how to use it on my cards.
Well, today, out came the washi tape when I saw this sketch challenge at Splitcoast.
I often struggle with sketch challenges but this one was an easy one.
I began by sticking the washi tape onto a piece of cardstock in a herringbone pattern. When I was happy with the design, I cut it out and glued it onto my card front.
I stamped the sentiment from The Old Island Stamp Company then pierced the border.
Simple, colourful and quick.
And now I have found a use for my washi tape.
Adding my card to these challenges:

LOVE this card, Karen! I have so much washi tape, too - I'm pinning this for ideas down the line! Well done!
VERY pretty, great use of washi tape!! I love washi but for some reason have a hard time using it (weird, huh?) I too am going to pin this idea. I think I need to start a Pinterest board for just washi ideas :)
Oh my, Karen, this is brilliant, and I LOVE it! The washi tape is perfect for this sketch, and I love how you've added the sentiment and piercing! What a beautiful and CAS card, my friend! Totally in love with it! Hugs1
This is super cute! I am going to have to CASE this - what a great idea for quick cards with my washi tape collection!
This is a very nice use of washi! I just might have to try it out myself. I collect washi like crazy but don't really seem to know what to do with it.
Fantastic use of washi tape. I have some but none as pretty as yours and yours makes such a festive Christmas card design.
What a fun way to use the washi tape Karen!! Super card :)
Gorgeous Karen! Love you lined up your sentiment with the shape of the washi tape design! hugs :)
