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 :)

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,

This is a fabulous card, Connie!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, 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!
