Lost Coast Designs Border Stamps with Washi Tape

Hello Everyone!

I am enjoying the lovely summer time weather!   Spending a bit of time outside in the yard.  Did not want to come in!!  LOL  

I had picked up some Washi tape recently and was brainstorming about how to use it on my cards.  And, I started to think.....washi tape....border stamps... might be a really cool combination.   It just so happens that  Lost Coast Designs has a fabulous selection of border stamps.  Check them all out here.   I grabbed a few borders and started playing around with them.  I came up with three finished projects.  I will be sharing all three with you over the next few days.  This is day one and as you can see, I combined a border stamp with brightly colored Washi tape, inks, and CS. 

Materials List:

Stamps: Stars Border and Party Words from Lost Coast Designs

CS; White, Orange and Yellow from Bazzill

Ink: Pearlescent Rust Pigment Brilliance; Orange Dye Ink

Distress Ink: Mustard Seed

Embossing Powder: Kaleidoscope - Stampendous

Washi Tape

Yellow Rhinestones

 and Yellow from Bazzill

Instructions: 

• Make an A2 size card with orange CS and layer with yellow CS
• On White CS, stamp the Stars Border with the pigment ink and heat emboss
• Stamp and emboss the border stamp three times over the white CS
• Add the Washi Tape to fill in the spaces around the stamping

• Apply the distress inks to the white CS--on the edges and into the middle of the piece
• Add to the card base
• Stamp the sentiment with orange dye ink on white CS 
• Tear the edges and add to card with dimensional adhesive

I just love this combo of Border stamps and washi tape!!  It is really fun and you can accommodate any mood or theme just by varying the inks and cardstock.
