Pairing Washi Tape With Paper Scraps

Hi scrappers! I’ve been a little delayed in getting this post up but I finally had a chance to get it together. These photos are from last year’s Thanksgiving when my cat hopped up on one of the chairs as we were setting the table for dinner. It seems she was really looking forward to some turkey too!

I used some cream cardstock as my background but the real showstopper on this page is the washi tape I used. It is Tasty Food tape by London Gifties in case you want to snag it for yourself. I layered four rows over some white cardstock to get the most vibrant color possible. I arranged some paper scraps along the bottom, tearing the edges of a few to give some texture. I added some burlap pieces and used brads by Bo Bunny and Creative Impressions. The brads are decorative but serve the function of affixing the burlap to the page since adhesives don’t work very well on this material. I added a few chipboard pieces by 49 and Market as a finishing touch.

This page was made using case file 423 at Color, Stories, Investigation. I really liked the colors for this one and the washi tape matched the palette for the most part. I used the following “evidence”

Textured Paper
Woodgrain Pattern
Mesh
Basket
Something Sheer

That’s all for this week. Short and sweet! I haven’t even started on my next page yet but I swear I will put one together soon!
