Wishi Washi 2

Hi there!
I'm hosting this weeks' challenge over at the City Crafter Challenge Blog today and this week it's all about washi or tissue tape.
I know it's a Big thing out there in the craft world at the moment ... The tape is so easy to make and customise to your own personal requirements ... but if you are not in the mood to make it ... well, there are hundreds of different style out there to choose from.



My challenge to you this week is to use washi or tissue tape on your project ... as much as you want ... but just to make it a little more interesting you can only use 2 other items (not counting your cardstock of course) ... These can be a flower, stamp, DP, bling, image ... you choose ... as long as there are 2 items and washi tape you're in for a shout to win a Guest Design spot at City Crafter!

I went quite simple with my card ... using patterned cardstock


The purple tissue tape I made myself with a few stamps, some tissue paper and self adhesive backing ... the other tape is a Tim Holtz tape


For my 2 embellishments I gathered a piece of lace to make a flower and added this gorgeous brad which matched my tape perfectly ...
And I cut little strips from my tape to make the sentiment too


This week at City Crafter we have a lady who plays regularly along with our challenges and is a previous winner too .... the Talented Tsukikusa 

I can't wait to see what you all come up with ... and I'm looking forward to seeing what the rest of my team have created so I'm off to visit the blog ...

Have yourselves a beautiful day ...
Till soon
