CIC210 - Downtown Tape

 
 

Happy Mother's Day!  I hope you all have the chance to celebrate the day with your family. 

At the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge we've got a new photo of gorgeously decorated cupcakes and a new sponsor - Downtown Tape. 

When Washi Tape first started popping up around the card blogs I was not quick to buy it.  I figured I've got enough supplies to last forever already, I don't need to start accumulating anything else.  Then one of the challenges in the Splitcoast "Dare to Get Dirty" challenges was to use Washi Tape, so I reluctantly made my first purchase.  I was surprised at how much I liked it.  Darn...

 

Since then I have picked up a few more roles and I've been looking around at different places to see how others are using it,  It's so versatile it's amazing,  If you do a search on it you'll find so many projects your mind will be boggles.  Besides crafty projects it's used to decorate tons of household items.  It goes onto surfaces very easily and as far as I've seen comes off effortlessly without disturbing the surface. 

 

I used the red and white checkered tape on the outside and the inside of my card.  This is not my usual style in that there is no stamping and there's lots of flowers.  I'd day that it's the exact opposite of my style nevertheless I made it and I like it.  I wanted to imitate the flowers on the cupcakes.  The pink rose and purple violets are by Prima, the red ones were made with a die cut. and the leaves were made with a punch.  If you're not a flowery person you can use the colors for your inspiration. 

the sweeties look forward to seeing your cards.
