Bouquet

 I found these stickers they were on sale, I am thinking they may be meant to use in a planner but I thought they would be pretty on cards too, the other things in the pack I figured I could use in my junk journals :)

I also added some faux tape to it also, I saw this on You tube HERE. She does a lot of things for journals I have made quite a few of her things. I thought if I could make some faux aged tape (the girl doing the video calls it washi but to me it looks like the stuff from old photos) I could be making my own :)


  • Spellbinders - Romantic Rectangles  and A2 Matting basics B dies
  • Paper Studio - Agenda 52 Wildflower stickers
  • DCWV - Once upon a time paper
  • Hero Arts - Birthday messages sentiment stamp
  • Faux aged tape
  • Gems

Here is a picture of my faux tape I made, I used Vellum since I didn't have any Glassine. I used a few colors of alcohol inks and applied them just like she did, pretty much wiping it on then pouncing. I forgot to write down the colors but I know for sure Butterscotch was one, the other two were a light orange and a light brown or tan. I used some smaller pieces of score tape and the wider ones I think were from Scrapbook.com, their brand of double sided tape. As you can see I did tear a little chunk off the wider strip and it worked fine tearing it.



Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

Ohhh, your flower image is dreamy and I love the paper in the background! Very cool looking tape, perfectly aged. You're always trying something new and it comes out amazing!

Love how this turned out! I love washi tapes and all the different kinds. But I really love how you made this look aged. And the flowers framed that way it so pretty. :)
