Today I woke up early so that I wouldn't miss the deadline on the one challenge. I had already started the card and so I didn't want my efforts to go to waste.
This was a combination of 2 challenges. First we have the
Create with Connie and Mary Color Challenge CCMC222. It required that I use Summer Starfruit, Gumball Green and Chocolate Chip. Done.
Next we have the
Friday Mashup Challenge 80.
So here was the "Mashup" Challenge:
- Make a project with the "Sketch".
- Or Make a project using "Faux Washi Tape".
- Or "Mash it Up" and create a project using the "Sketch and Faux Washi Tape".
I did both. Be sure to visit the link to see how the Faux Washi Tape was made. It took 2 tries and some patience. The first try was last night and I used thin tape and too much water with too much rubbing. This morning I used packing tape with less water and was a lot gentler on the rubbing. I used my finger instead of a sponge to get the last of the white to go away. It's messy with wet paper clumps but it is worth a try.
Stamp Sets: Fabulous Florets, Friendly Phrases
Colors: See above
Supplies: Packing Tape, Sponge, Finishing Touches Edgelits
How cool this is!! I will have to give this faux washi tape a try! Love the layout, too! Thanks for playing the challenge at Create with Connie and Mary!
ReplyDeleteGumball Green. Not a green I would normally make a point of using but really, I'm seeing that it plays so well with others. I remember that we used it in your Halloween Card Camp last week too. Who knew? Well I guess those fabulous SU! folks. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat card and great that you made it work for two challenges!
So pretty! I love the faux washi tape! Thanks for joining us at Create With Connie and Mary!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! I love that you've used packing tape - it allows you to have a much wider piece. Great use of colours as well. Love this card! Thanks for playing along at The Friday Mashup!
