Make Your Heart Sing

There's a challenge over at Inspired by Stamping that simply asks us to use Washi tape.  So I just pulled out some reds and blacks and played a bit.  Here's the result:


These are assorted tapes; I don't have the slightest idea who makes what, but I do know that the red houndstooth is an We R Memory Keepers Washi paper - love this idea, as you can cut off any width you'd like for each project.  After I'd positioned the tapes as I liked, I stamped my greeting (Penny Black Eloquence), ran my panel through a new Cuttlebug embossing folder, Cross My Heart, then attached it to a red card base, and added some Maya Road gingham blossoms and some black and red pearls.  

Looks like I'm the first to enter this challenge - since the winners will be a random draw, I guess I'd better go do another of these!

I'd also like to enter this into the Die-Cut Diva's April challenge, to use Washi tape.  Thanks to Dawn for pointing me there!

Thanks for visiting!

I love the red and black combination. I am getting a little obsessed with washi tape, too, although I have yet to use it on a card. So far, I am just collecting it!

Simply beautiful Lin. It would be perfect to enter into our challenge over at Die Cut Divas ~ to use your die cut machine and washi on your card.... you've done both here.

Love the black and white color scheme and the wonderfully embossed panel with Washi tape making music on a bed of hearts.

So glad you could play with us at the Die Cut Divas' challenge - use Washi tape or make a birthday card.

LOVE the music theme, Lin! The black and white with pop of red is amazing, too! Fabulous card! :)
