I am a first-year graduate of the AECP and I honestly loved every class and assignment we were given. The flexibility and convenience of taking the classes on-line were most important to me, after all we each lead busy lives. I also felt it important to invest in myself (even if it is just a hobby) as card-making is my “happy place”. I can’t mention the program without mentioning the best director and cheerleader, Virginia Lu! From day one Virginia was there to answer any question I had and to encourage every student along the way, I certainly consider her a new friend. This blog hop is celebrating Love and Friendship, I have to say I have a new community of virtual friends through this program! It is so great to have people in your life who speak the same crafty language.

My Card
Today I’m sharing a fairly quick and easy card! Washi tape makes producing cards so simple. I covered an entire 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of 80# cardstock with this Botanical Rhapsody tape and using my alcohol markers accented the floral images, I only colored the areas that were already shadowed. I then cut out the images I wanted to use and arranged them on my panel. Some of the flowers are popped up with foam tape.
TIP: when using alcohol markers on washi tape know that the initial application of ink beads up a little at first. Keep a paper towel nearby to lightly dab off the excess ink and you are left with a beautiful stain or lighter color of ink on your tape. You may have to do a couple of layers to darken it up. Of course you can leave the beading for a cool effect once it dries (see the small flower in my 2nd photo).
I then heat embossed the main “Blessed” statement onto vellum, fussy cut it out and adhered to the panel with liquid glue along the thicker font lines. The sub sentiment was heat embossed directly to my panel. I think this washi tape has gorgeous images that can be assembled to make a stunning focal point.Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment, it makes my day! Next on the blog hop is the inspiring Maryam Sharara. For your convenience below is the entire blog hop list:

I like the subtle use of the vellum, and the color palette on the flowers. Gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nina!!
DeleteYour cards are always so beautiful, Michelle! Love the gorgeous flowers and the bold sentiment.
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind, Nandini. Thank you!
DeleteMichelle your card is gorgeous! Love the coloring on the washi and the colors are so pretty. Love this new Blessed set. Thank you for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your encouraging words, Linda!
DeleteI'm a HUGE washi fan, and until I found the extra large stuff from Altenew, I had to swear off buying it because I had too much and didn't know what to do with it all. Now, I have an excuse to buy it again! I really like that some of the tape has a coordinating die. But, fussy cutting is ok too :D
ReplyDeleteSo easy to fall down the washi wormhole!!! LOL!
DeleteMichelle, the touches of color on your washi tape cut outs are superb. I especially like the one in the second photo that bubbled up a bit. What a great effect! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sweet Amber! Yes, I love that effect too. I’m always up for stretching those supplies. I love that you can change the look completely just with a marker :)
DeleteSo elegant! What a brilliant idea to color the Washi. Your coloring is just beautiful
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Suzanne!! Yes, I’m all about stretching those supplies :)
DeleteHey Teamie, Amazing card :) I love your use of washi, I must try adding colour to it soon. I always enjoy seeing your projects xx

ReplyDeleteThank you, Denise!
DeleteTricia Podmore stopping by today to say, you nailed it making your card with Washi tape. The release of this wide focal point Washi is terrific, but never would have thought to color it nor that you could use alchohol markers on the tape. Where you left the marker beaded up gives a neat effect.
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind, Tricia! Thank you for your encouraging words.
DeleteGorgeous card! Love the delicate but effective washi tape!
ReplyDeleteWow this is gorgeous Michelle, I would never have thought to color on top of the washi!
ReplyDeleteThanks Helen!
DeleteBrilliant! Great card!
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen!
DeleteBeautiful! Nothing else I can say except maybe Fantastic, Lovely, Gorgeous, Artistic....
ReplyDeleteHaha! Thank you, Pamela you are so encouraging :)
DeleteThis is lovely!
