Washi Tape - Part 2


A while ago, I made a card out of washi tape.  The project instructions on that card called for painting over the washi tape, and I could not bear to do it.  So on this project, I used black and white washi tape only, painted over the tape, and then sanded the dried paint off in spots.  I really love how this background came out!

I added the butterfly cutouts after I had finished everything else.  The project just needed a little something and I finally settle on the butterflies.  Now they are my favorite part!

Use Your Wings


Oh goodness, how I wish I were at the beach right now!  I can't complain though - me and my husband get along well during isolation together.  I am very happy that I have my creative projects to work with after hours - it does keep the anxiety away.

I have been enjoying this book about collage.  This is my attempt at the first project, which is creating a torn paper collage of the beach using just cloud and sky images.  I caved and used a photo of some ground for the beach itself, and then embellished with a stamped seagull.  Gotta have a focal point!
