A rainy dreary Tuesday here on Long Island. It was such a nice day yesterday. I made sure that I spent a lot of time outside, especially since I knew it was going to be nasty today. My list of things to do didn’t get much checked off but that’s what today is for. I had a quiet evening, Taylor stopped by for a bit and then I watched TV. I have to find another book to read so I’ll give that a little effort this morning. I’m feeling a little dreary myself! Why does the weather have such an effect on us?! 😀
It’s Tuesday and that means that it’s time for this week’s Stamp, Ink, Paper challenge…
We figured that we would try something new so we are featuring using a product and that product is Washi Tape. I know that I have way too much of it and don’t use it nearly enough! I’m sure that some of you out there are in the same boat! My card is very simple, I stamped the images from the Hero Arts October My Monthly Hero Kit in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Solar White 80lb and colored them in with my Copics. The Coordinating Frame Cuts cut them out. Onto a card base of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock I added a strip of Washi Tape across the lower half and then stamped the mountains. The tree and house are adhered with 3M Foam Tape and the greeting is stamped under and to the right of the Washi. Like I said very simple! I hope that you like my Design Team card for this week’s Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge! The rest of Team has some great inspiration for you over on the BLOG and we hope that you share your creation with us in the gallery! Thank you for coming by! Have a terrific Tuesday! 🙂

Justin, I love the house with the red door!! This card is very elegant with a simple design! Love how you used the washi tape. I have a stash of it that I just don’t remember to use. I’ll go to the challenge blog to what inspiration I can get. I agree with you about how a dreary day zaps my energy. I’m going to lunch with a friend, so that will bring some laughter and good conversation and we won’t even notice the weather. Enjoy your day!
Thank you HJ! I have so much Washi Tape it was good to get to use some! A dreary day definitely sucks out all of your energy! Hope that you had a great lunch! 🙂
Love the little scene you have created here Justin. Popping the tree out with foam tape and using the musical Washi tape was positively, absolutely perfect. This card is a keeper and recreating it to send out to folks would be nice and easy.
Thank you Grace! It was a nice simple card but fun! 🙂
I love the simplicity of your card, Justin. I have that kit as well and am just mind boggled with all the little scenes one could make, so I appreciate seeing your beautiful CAS design with it!
I also think this is a great challenge, who doesn’t have scads of Washi tape? Fun!
Thank you so much Stef! The kit is great!! 🙂
Washi tape, OMG I have so much it is sickening. I love it, rarely use it. Love this card with the musical strip. So many kits I want to play with, no time. This kit and card are both keepers. It is still raining here, dark and rainy in the morning, dark and rainy at night. tonight’s low, mid 30’s. A few goof ball forecasters are calling for flurries. I refuse to accept that. Your lucky you enjoyed the great weather I spent Saturday indoors cleaning, thinking I would have all day Sunday outside. Rain and cold came early, oh well….. cant do anything about it
LOL! Don’t we all Linda?! Thank you! I love the kit and need to make some more stuff with it! No flurries! It’s too early for that! There will be more sunny days for you! 🙂
