The challenge this week at Less is More is BLACK and WHITE, with a splash of COLOR. So I used the wonderful sketch at Unscripted Sketches, which was calling washi tape to me, and put this together surprisingly quickly.
I splashed a couple of strips of washi tape against the polka dotted background then added my favorite butterfly from Papillon Potpourri inked in Crushed Curry. (I really like that color and wish it had not retired). Usually I like to add some pearls or rhinestones down the center of the butterfly but neither of those are white, so I got a brainstorm to wrap some white baker's twine around a few times. I've got to say that I really like the look.
The challenge this week at CAS-ual Fridays is Thank You (so appropriate at this time of year), so I'm going to enter this there as well.
I've still got lots for sale on my For Sale page. Take a peek if you're looking for some oldie-but-goodie stamp sets! Thanks for stopping by!
This is simply gorgeous Jen!

This is fabulous! The embossed white on white is perfect. Great idea with the bakers twine too. The washi really draws your eye in. Wonderful. Bev

ReplyDeletePS I have just ordered my first roll of Washi tape - can you believe that? I must have been living under a rock to be so oblivious to this trend!
