Hello and welcome to Altenew’s Washi Tape Explorer Blog Hop! Washi tape is a beautiful way to add interest to your papercrafting projects and Altenew has 40% off on ALL Washi Tapes from 11/10/2021 until 11/16/2021 at 11:59 PM EST. Take a look at Altenew’s Collection of Washi Tapes.
Using Washi Tape for a Background
Washi tape can make a very dramatic background. For this card, I ink blended my circle die-cut with Warm Sunshine using my Large Ink Blending Tool. I added two additional layers of ink around the outer edge to darken the perimeter. The background is the Many Dots Washi Tape adhered at an angle.
Using Washi Tape as an Accent
For my second card, I added my favorite Painted Grid Washi Tape along two sides of the card to partically frame my flowers. The flowers are Altenew’s Paint-A-Flower Clematis stamp, which is GORGEOUS and so fun to create with. I finished the card off with a couple of pearl grey New Day Enamel Dots.

The Many Dots Washi is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. Perfectly used here to set off the yellow circle.
