Paper Pumpkin June 2016 Alternate 3

So here’s my Paper Pumpkin June 2016 alternate 3 using the washi tape as I’d promised. In fact, I let the washi tape dictate the complete colour scheme but I took the layout from the current challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.

Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Banner Surprise

And here’s the banner which inspired my card

I’d been contemplating what to do with some of the washi tape from this month’s Paper Pumpkin kit and this sketch seemed perfect. I started by adding a strip of the washi to my thick whisper white card. Then I stamped the sentiment from the kit in peekaboo peach and followed that by using versamark and gold embossing powder. I punched it out with a 2 inch punch. For the second circle, I decided on a smaller piece of peekaboo peach with the second stamp from the kit embossed in gold aswell – it’s punched out with the 1 3/4″ inch punch. I glued the peach circle down but popped up the main element using dimensionals. My sister Caro had told me that she’d recently tried washi as an envelope decoration, so I tried that. Although I miss the envelope liners (and chances are that if there isn’t an envelope photographed, it’s likely using a liner), I now think more about liners rather than just automatically dressing up the envelope that way. That’s a good thing!

See you tomorrow,

Liz
