2013-03-02 Trying out Chrissy’s Tissue Tape
At the February Shoebox meeting my friend Chrissy gave all of us some fabric and silk flowers along with a roll of washi tape. Then my other Shoebox buddy, Maggi sent me a link on how to make a chevron using squares. So here are the supplies I used to create a CAS card. Then only things not pictured are the PearlEx and ink pad.
And here is what I came up with. I cut the 1″ squares on the diagnal and then glued them down. I must have a blade that needs replacing as the bottom line of the chevron was kind of furry. I added the washi tape and then to clean up the look I added a narrow strip of DSP to cover edges.
The final step was to add a spritz of PearlEx. That is the splotches and glimmer that you can see. I love the shimmer and I think it adds something to the flat card stock. Had I used the ready textured card stock, no PearlEx would have been needed.
The one and only stamp is by Stampin’ Up and purchased at the rummage sale of 2012 in a box of assorted images for $2. Here are all of the stamps that I got that day. I’m already looking forward to 2013′s sale!
Hi Bonnie,
The set is Time Well Spent. Have fun with all of your new sets!
Love the chevron Bonnie!!! And a bit jealous of your rummage sale finds!!
Good for you Bonnie… Can’t wait to see all the wonderful cards you will make with your new stamps!
