Faux Washi Tape Creations

 I played with making some faux washi tape this weekend after a friend of mine posted a mixed media challenge about it on Splitcoaststampers.  She said masking tape was the easiest method so I set out to try it. 

This is my first one.  Just painted on some acrylic paint and then stamped a Dina Wakley Scribble bird.  Linking to **Art*Journal*Journey* where Wendy has us playing with birds this month. 

Did some of the strips with a ruler stamp from DRS Designs and a Darkroom Door stencil. 
This worked out well to cover up a page I had previously done on Psalms 148.  This time I focused on how this Psalm tells us everyone and everything should praise the Lord - including birds.  Lovely Psalm and I am glad I could use this faux washi tape to cover up a design I did not like.


I had so much fun making this faux tape that I did another set of tape and made another BAJ page plus a card.  I was inspired by some Christmas washi tape on the Cute Tape site (the inspiration site on Splitcoaststampers.com this weekend) and THIS great card by Dacia on Splitcoaststampers.com. 

After all the paint dried (I used Dina Wakely acrylics), I peeled it off and made the page and card. 

My bible page is Isaiah 41:19 where God lets us know He does billions of things to help and save us - even putting water and trees where we need them.  I know there are hundreds of better interpretations of this chapter and verse than this.  Much deeper and cooler, but this is how I chose to interpret this one.  He has given us so much and we take it for granted.  

Thanks for stopping by!  

Hugz,

Nancy

    Oh handmade washi tape, how marvellous. I like the first one with the bird and the dots and patterns and then the Christmas tree ones are super as well. I wonder if you painted on to paper or sticky tape, I suppose either would work. I also had a little (?) foray into your link to Cute Tape, thanks.
