You’re Sweet

Hello once again. Recovering from a head cold, and found that crafting did take my mind off things. I created this card:

I used an older Pinkfresh Studio washi tape for the fruit elements, inspired by the Inspiration Station photo – lots of fruit on a stall. This is a very large repeating washi, and once laid down onto a half sheet of card stock, I used the matching die to cut the elements out.

As washi tape is very slippery, and low tack doesn’t really adhere to it, I made sure some of my low tack tape was on the card stock too – ask me how I knew to do that……!

As this card is on the larger 5×7 inch side, I die cut a white panel and used a Spellbinders embossing folder which has fruit slices as the design. This was then added to the card base.

As the washi tape images had gold highlights, I then used a couple of rectangle dies to cut a frame out of Spellbinders brushed gold card stock.

I then added that to the panel with 3D foam as I was going to layer the fruit elements over and under the frame.

The fruit elements were added with a mixture of 3D foam and wet glue – leaving a space for the sentiment, which was stamped and heat embossed in gold. The matching die cut for the sentiment was used, and cut several times to create a more stable sentiment added as you see.

I have several rolls of washi tape from Pinkfresh Studio, but always forget they are there. I can see more cards coming soon using them.

I shall be entering the following challenges:

Just Us Girls – word prompt ‘frame’

Ellibelle’s corner – I Spy Summertime Vibes

The Four Seasons Challenge – Summer

A Cut Above – anything goes with die cuts

Die Cut Divas – use die cuts and wet or dry embossing – I used both embossing methods

Pinspirational – die cuts

Inspiration Station – photo inspiration – fruit medley

    Stunning design using washi tape. The coordinating gold frame really picks up the gold in the fruit images. Great embossed background too. Thanks for sharing at A Cut Above’s August Challenge.

    So beautiful and hard to believe its Washi tape. You used it well. Hope the head cold is done with. Something on the news here, suggested that what we may believe is a summer cold may well be the latest Covid strain.
