It's time for our first August challenge over at the Seize the Birthday challenge blog. For this challenge we are looking for card designs that use NO stamping. Thanks to my friend Michele and her generous sharing of these beautiful die cut washi tapes, my card was very easy to create.
I laid out my initial design onto a white card panel and then flipped through my cover dies to see what I could do to jazz it up a bit. I ended up die cutting through a transparency in order to have a polka dot stencil. I used Distress Oxide Spun Sugar to create this soft background to the washi die cuts. I popped a pre-foiled sentiment onto the design with foam tape and then added my customary sprinkling of pearls. Sometimes simple is just best, don't you think?
I invite you to visit our blog and hope to see your birthday card in our gallery. The topping is always optional.
Supplies:
Pink Fresh Studio - Hydrangea Rose washi tape
Pink Fresh Studio - Foiled Sentiment Ephemera
CC Designs - Circle Cut and Stitch Cover die
Little Things by Lucy - Glossy Watermelon pearls
As always, thanks so much for spending a bit of your day with me.

So pretty. I agree the die cut washi tape designs make a lovely card. I also like how you made your stencil for those pretty pink dots. Great card with no stamping.
ReplyDeleteThat was so clever to make your own stencil for this lovely card. It may have been easy, but looks like a million bucks!
