Unscripted Sketches 193

It should be no surprise to anyone that the sketch this week at Unscripted Sketches made me think of washi tape.  But I didn't want to just throw some decorative tape on my card and call it a day.  I wanted to make something that was a little bit interesting.

I started by stamping the splotch from Extreme Elements in Soft Suede.  Then I added some washi tape strips that have a sort of old-world appeal.  They are a little bit newsprint and a little bit mathematical numbering.  The sentiment is from a set called Favorite Thoughts and it's a favorite of mine.  It's got some great sentiments that are particularly empowering for women.

On a side note, I've come to the realization that blogging is dangerous business, indeed.  The other day I saw a post over at the blog of the very talented Kim who mentioned that she had seen a button treatment that she liked.  This lead to me checking another blog, which led me to Etsy and something called "flair buttons." References to the movie Office Space notwithstanding, I sincerely hope that "flair" is not some new paper-crafting necessity that I'll be unable to resist in the not-too-distant future.  But I fear those chevron designs are calling to me.  {Sigh}.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
