Now, onto my project...
I don't know if you have given in to Washi tape yet, but it is a fun new trend and there are tutorials out there on how to make your own with tissue paper and double-sided tape. I decided to make my own with a lazy twist... ;-)
I wanted it to look like graffiti, and I also wanted some texture to the tape so I used actual paper tape like the one you put on gauze to dress up a wound. I tore up a long strip and glued it down on some wax paper. This enabled me to stamp to my heart's content and still be able to remove it easily afterwards.
I used the Lovey Puns Food set. I love those little equations! <3 :-) For this kind of project I recommend a pigment ink like Palette or Memento, more "creamy" inks don't work as well with the texture of the tape...
Now go look for some paper tape in your medicine cabinet and give this a try... ;-)
Next stop on your hop is Bee (Belinda)'s blog: Bee's Hive O' Drama
Have fun hopping!... :-)
