I chose to make another of these washi tape cards for my DH for Valentine's!! I used a light linen distress ink and a yellow Oxide ink to make the background with
my new DIY foam stamp. I added three strips of handmade washi tape created using double sided tape and tissue paper. You can check out the tutorial
here. The left hand one is red tissue paper stamped with black Versafine ink, the middle one is printed decorative tissue paper and the right hand one is medical tape stamped with a small heart stamp in black Versafine ink. I really like the combination of these for this card. After adding the three lengths of washi tape I manually embossed hearts all the way around with a hammer and then glued this large layer to a red card front. I found some coordinating sequins in green, gold and red and added them using double sided tape. I watercoloured the laser printed die cut greeting (SU) and mounted it to my card using 3D foam tape. I added clear dimensional paint to the little heart greeting (image font) and while I was at it I decided to add some "drops" as well which look pretty cool now that they were dry!!
We never go out for dinner on Valentine's Day though we usually cook a meal together at home to celebrate. It has been a very busy weekend and the day is upon us so we will be making plans to celebrate in the next few days instead. Our celebrations always include good food!!
