OLW25 Birds and Bees, Flowers and Trees

Jennifer's OLW25 Challenge was so much fun! I used my brand new Washi tape to make the ground for this Hero Arts flowering tree and bird...so I got three of the components onto the card!




The Washi tape isn't as easy to design with as I thought it would be, and this is definitely the best card I've made with it so far. I'm not giving up, though. More on Washi tape later...when I've figured it out.

Supplies
stamps: Hero Arts
ink: Palette dark chocolate, SU markers, real red
paper: pre-made card (5 x 7)
accessories: red gemstones, Washi tape

  2. Ha! Three elements, go you! Love that little red bird checking out the tree. Super pretty card.

    I'm pretending not to see the tape - I do not need yet another addiction...heh.

  3. Very cool. I especially like that flowering tree. I know nothing about Washi tape but I have been watching Donelda use it with interest. I guess I am going to learn more about it soon. Like Jennifer though, I don't need to add anything to my wish list!
