Well, later finally came.
Washi tape, it turns out, makes an awesome table cloth. I cut the long piece with a craft knife, then cut two triangles for the corners. And there you have it. A table cloth.
The lamp shade and base were stamped on scraps and cut out. The base is glued directly onto the table and the lampshade popped for dimension.
I no longer regret that impulse purchase, but man is this one expensive card!
Supplies
stamps: Hero Arts (lamp), Papertrey (sentiment)

WOW!!!! LOVE this! - what a great idea - I have lots of colors of "tablecloths" too!
You are working magic with that lamp stamp! I think it's best to never figure out how much a card really cost.
LOVE this! I love my washi tape...thanks for the inspiration!
What a unique use for your tape stash...and I bet you'll get lots and lots and lots of tablecloths from one roll :)
Man, that lamp is cute....
Great idea!!
I am ALways surprised at what you come up with! The tape makes a positively darling table, the color is awesome, and the whole thing is soooo cute!

Yeah, Patti. Julie put a link to a very nice online vendor in her post. I was doomed. Decided not to do the same to you all. It's not a product I'm finding easy to use, LOL!
Cute card and very clever idea! tfs
I get what you're saying about new products and self-control, but what blew me away was that you CUT OUT THAT LAMP BASE! What patience (and really great scissors!) you must have!One of my resolutions last year was to figure out the copic airbrush system I just HAD to have. It's still in its box (at least I assume it is - I have no idea where it is!) LOL! Merry Christmas!
Sue, this is really COOL!!! I wanted to tell you too, that I do visit your blog every day, and LOVE your work! I hardly every leave comments because I have SOOOO many blogs I visit every day, but I want you to know that I DO appreciate everything you share with us :)
LOL Susan.... I think we all admit to that. Great use of the Washi tape. Merry Christmas!
Genious, I say!
Love the tablecloth! I'm guilty of the same "that's cool, so I must buy the entire collection even though I've never tried any of it before" shopping. You think we'd learn, wouldn't you?
i haven't gotten any washi tape, yet, but if i do i know where to look for some inspiration! great card!
What an inspired use of washi tape, which I've resisted... so far... ;)
What a great table, thanks for the laugh! It's not cheap to enable all of us but try not to think about it too much.
So cute! Love the tablecloth!
I agree with Ardyth: You cut out that lamp base?
Thank you for encouraging me to buy some things and not to buy others. :-)
This card is so cute!
I love your use of the washi tape! :)
