I had the retrosketch #54 in mind and pulled out a couple of Distress Inks and cardstock, stamps and washi tape and set the stop watch to see if I could pull this off.
In real life the greens are a closer match, but doubling up the washi tape did make a more intense shade.
The "phone home" idea came from the CASology Cue Card: Extraterrestrial - ET was the first thing that came to my mind and I love any excuse to use one of the Mini Blueprint stamps.
Cath at Moxie Fab World has issued a number of challenges to celebrate Card Creations Week, including the Washi Tape Challenge. The ribbon on this card is made by taking a long strip on washi tape and folding the sticky sides in on itself.
The result is almost a waxy feeling ribbon that I tied into a bow.
The final time for this one was just under 9 minutes and most of that time was fishing for letters to stamp the sentiment and folding the washi tape!
I'll be back later with a "way more than 10 minutes" card that I am taking a break from.
Thanks for stopping by,
Jacquie
What a fun card! I have never seen a washi tape bow before- it's such a neat idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining in the 10 Minute Craft Dash, Jacquie. I hope you can play along in the next challenge!
This is super--not only is it a great card, but 4 challenges in under 10 minutes--that has got to be a world record. I am loving those blueprint stamps you are using. Who makes them and/or where did you get them--I'd like to check them out myself.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! challenge overload!! Do love the stamps you're using from Tim Holtz'- and love how your washi bow turned out!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting way to blog! I am impressed, Jacquie. I find your ribbon very clever and it works really well on your card. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteI love the vintage image on the kraft and the pop of green is the perfect finishing touch! Thanks so much for playing along with us at CASology this week!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if anyone would go with the "phone home" idea...that was my first thought when I saw the cue, too! I love this color combo, and the washi tape is wonderful! Thanks for joining us at CASology this week!
