Less is More meets Washi Tape

 

The Less is More challenge today is to create a card using Washi Tape. Now I have to confess that I bought some SU Washi Tape as part of a bundle some time ago and, as yet, have never used it so the challenge was a bit of a kick in the posterior for me to have have a go and, what's more, I've made two cards!! 
I've kept this card really simple using two stamps from Chalk Talk - one image cut with the matching framelit and the other punched with the Extra Large Oval punch. I used grey Washi Tape across the card, Basic Gray ink for the stamping and the new Smoky Slate for matting - and that's about it!
My second card is a bit of a fun card for Halloween, using the grey and orange Washi tape and a 'not yet available' stamp set Tags 4 You and Label Bracket punch (watch out for the new Seasonal catalogue later this month!)


This afternoon I am having a joint birthday 'family get together' for my eldest Grandaughter, who will be 5, and youngest Grandson, who will be 2 shortly after they move back to Suffolk. Luckily I wasn't planning an outdoor party as the weather here today is atrocious. I think maybe the family will have to hire boats to get here if it rains much more :0)
Whatever you're doing this weekend have a good one and I'll be back soon
