Hi, We have a great and easy Wild Card Challenge for you this week at Just Us Girls. The word is Stripes! I decided to get out some washi tape that I never use and try to make an interesting background with my Oxide Inks. I absolutely love the way it came out. I made this card about a month or so ago and recently have seen a lot of other card makers doing this technique too. It is so easy and a lot of fun! I highly suggest you give it a try! Be careful, as I had a bit of a bleed in the bottom right of my base. These feathers are a new purchase for me, they came in my very first Papertrey Ink order. I know, can you believe it?? I really love them a lot! I cut out multiple feathers and stacked them up to give the card a lot of dimension.
Please stop by Just Us Girls and check out the teams amazing cards as well! I would also like to thank Julia for being such a wonderful guest this month.
Take care, Nanc’

Fab inking and a great use of that unloved washi tape roll you get in the packet with the ones you love!

I remember doing this on a shirt with fabric paint a loooong time ago, Nancy. I loved the look then and I love it now on your card. (maybe this could be a future challenge?). The feathers are beautiful.

What a fun masked background. Pretty card with your lovely feathers. It is hard to believe that this is your first order from PTI. Have a great week, Nancy.

How clever to use washi tape to mask your stripes here Nancy. Makes for an interesting background. Gorgeous ox colours and those feathers are fabulous. Love the simple sentiment.

This is so awesome and creative! Love the idea of using washi tape to mask and the Oxides blend beautifully on this and look fantastic with those feathers floating around.
