Washi Butterfly

 I saw this VIDEO a couple months ago and I thought that was such pretty washi tape, now they have many more in stock at Paperwishes.com if you want to check them out.  I didn't do the butterfly exactly how she did it, but I still liked the effect.

Since there was so much pattern in the washi tape I decided to keep the background pretty plain, I used a stencil to ink just around the outside of the card with a deeper orange ink.


  • Hot off the Press - Butterflies and Hearts die
  • Penny Black - Background Basics Stencil
  • Dried Marigold Distress ink
  • Ieebee - Fluttering Blooms washi tape
  • Recollections - Basic Paper
  • Crafter's Square - Birthday sentiment stamp
  • Added dots with fine tip brown sharpie pen
  • Hearts cut from left over washi pieces

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

Connie

Oh, how sweet! The washi tape patterns are so pretty and make for a beautiful butterfly. I did this technique with Christmas ornaments one year. It's a great way to use up washi tape. This is delightful!

The way you let the washi tape take center stage is so effective—those layered patterns create such a striking butterfly. I love how you balanced the bold design with a softly stenciled background; it adds depth without competing for attention. The little hearts from leftover tape are such a thoughtful touch, tying everything together beautifully. This card feels joyful and full of movement.
