Put a Stamp on It 2

Here's another card I'm linking up to Simon Says Stamp's Put a Stamp on It challenge to use washi on your card. I based my card on a layout that Amy Tan shared in a Washi Workshop that I took a few months ago.


I layered a rainbow pattern of tapes across the front of a card and stamped a sentiment with Archival ink. A butterfly was die cut and put back in the negative space after placing a scrap piece of cardstock behind it so the butterfly had a place to sit.


I pulled up the butterfly's wings and added a few pearls to the body. When the card was done, I realized the only stamp I used was a sentiment, but I did indeed "put a stamp on it".

After playing with so much washi tape, I'm off to shop and restock my depleting inventory. I hope you have a crafty weekend!
