Washi Tape and Flowers

Welcome - I am glad you have chosen to visit me.

Life has been busy here with family visits and dental visits and a card class taken, but I have popped in today to share a card.


When making this card I went for a more CAS look. I had recently seen a magazine article on tea bag folding, so had a go with some digital paper from the same magazine, and was pleased with my result.  As I wanted it to take centre stage, I kept the card simple.


I used a fabric flower and brad for the centre of the folded flower, and mounted it over some washi tape.


I love the dimension the flower gives, without it being too bulky for the post.


The card was finished with some pearl accents and an embossed sentiment.

I had fun making this card and was pleased with the results.

Thank you for visiting - any comments you leave are truly appreciated.
May your day be blessed

Delightful! What a creative flower, my sweet friend - you are so very talented! My mum is from England and the only one I've heard called it 'the post' and you so made me smile just now reading that! (and how I need to smile today!) Blessings!
