Happy "4 Crafty Chicks" Thursday! 

Thanks for stopping in to see what I've been up to :) This week, it is my turn to play challenge hostess and I'm wanting to see some washi tape on your cards! I love washi tape, but it's something I don't grab very often and I'd love to see some more ideas on using it....

4 CC #365 {Washi Tape}


My card was made very quickly with a variety of washi tape from Micheal's - I cut out a pretty butterfly from a die cut set from My Favorite Things, added the washi in strips on a panel behind the cut out and added sequins, a HELLO die cut from Stampin' Up - then cut out the whole main panel with my Wonky Stitched Rectangle die from Craftin' Desert Divas....easy peesy and sooo pretty!
