Experimenting with Washi Tape!

It's Tuesday, my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. This week my teammates and I are showcasing Washi TapesTopflight Stamps has a wide variety of Washi Tape by AALL and Create, Pen Paling Paula, Stampam, Leane Creatief, and Studio Light.

I opted to use Free the Birds Washi Tape 75Heritage Scroll Washi  Tape 76, and Prickly Blooms Washi Tape 69 -- all by AALL and Create to create two cards and a tag. These three tapes can be layered together to create larger images, which is exactly what I did. Then I took it a few steps further by adding multiple layers of clear embossing powder to one of the images and adding a crackle medium to another. 

Here's the A2 Card!

Notes:
All three projects were started the same way. Strips of  Free the Birds Washi Tape 75 and the Prickly Blooms Washi Tape 69 were adhered to lightweight white cardboard (leftover from packaging), taking care to line up the images so that they formed a cohesive image. 

Instructions:

For the A2 Card:
1. Cut green cardstock to 8.5" x 5.5". Score the panel at 4.25" and fold to form an A2 card. Set aside.
2. Sponge Golden Glitz Delicata Ink onto the Looking Glass Frame Die. Place green cardstock onto the die, and cut the cardstock. The gold ink will highlight the frame's details.
3. Use Golden Glitz Delicata Ink to edge the frame die-cut.
4. Adhere the washi tape image panel behind an ornate frame die-cut and set aside.
5. Adhere strips of Heritage Scroll Washi  Tape 76  onto green cardstock, then use the edge of a ruler to secure the tape to the green cardstock, so that the color shows through the translucent washi tape.
6. Put some drops of Golden Glitz Delicata re-inker onto a craft mat. Spray with alcohol, then use a paint brush to mix the ink and the alcohol. 
7. Dip the brush into the alcohol ink puddle and splatter the washi tape background.
8. Trim the washi-taped background panel to 4" x 5.25".
9. Use a scissor blade to distress the edges of the background panel, then lightly edge all sides  with the the gold ink. 
10. Use Nocturne VersaFine Clair In to stamp the sentiment onto green cardstock and heat set with gold embossing powder. 
11. Use dies from the Taggletastic Die Set 30  to cut the sentiment and mat it. 
12. Use a border die from the Frayed Frames Die Set 26 to cut green cardstock.
13. Edge the sentiment die-cuts and the border with gold ink. 
14. Assemble the card as shown.

For the A6 Card:
1. Cut and score brown cardstock to form an A6 card. Set aside.
2. Use Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink to stamp the Shattering #713 Clear Stamp onto the second scene built with the Free the Birds Washi Tape 75  then heat set. 
3. Smoosh a VersaMark pad onto the stamped  washi image panell.
4. Add clear embossing powder, dump off the excess, and the heat set the panel.
5. Repeat Steps #3 and #4 four times to build a thick layer of clear, shiny glassiness. See photo below.
6.Trim the embossed panel and adhere it to black cardstock.
7. Use a Nesting Frames die to card brown cardstock three times. 
8. Layer all three frames to each other.
9. Adhere the 3-ply frame over the image panel.
10. Patterned paper by Studio Light was cut with the largest die from the Passe Partout Essentials Rectangle Die Seand edged with Acorn VersaFine Clair Ink.
