Purple and Gold

 I had seen this washi tape being used in different ways on cards on the Altenew  blog and just loved it but talked myself out of getting it. Well last fall when we went to the stamp store over in Missouri I saw it there in person and I just couldn't resist and hoped I would get some use out of it.  This first time using it I just applied it to my cardstock as my background, added a die cut and a gold die cut sentiment to go with the gold in the Washi tape. I just love the water color look of the flowers and all the gold touches,


  • Altenew - Glitter Flurries Washi tape for card background
  • Gemini - Opulent Swirls die
  • Spellbinders - Happy Birthday die
  • Recollections - Iridescent gem


You can see a little more of the shine of the gold in the close up picture above.

We have been getting freezing rain, sleet and snow mix, should be ending by this evening, but I hear that the East Coast is going to get hit hard again, take care and stay safe, there has been pile up accidents here.


Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by.
