Something blue

Over on the PaperArtsy blog this week Sara Naumann has inspired several crafters to use washi tape, link here. There have been some fabulous takes on this but I have kept very much to the original idea. I don't think I've used blue much in my posts so far.. maybe it's my next colour phase! Here is my challenge entry.


Like the post the stamps are from the Eclectica range and I've used alcohol inks and surgical spirit. I didn't have a large flower so looking around my bag of stash labelled 'don't throw it away, it might come in useful' I found some tissue and acetate that had been wrapped around a bouquet I received....I am so glad I kept it...and even the brad is very old stash that I've been hanging onto.


I made a few more and just need to put them onto cardstock.


Thanks for stopping by.

  11. Depending on interpretation, "copy and selectively edit" or "copy and share everything". Basically, creating something very similar to, or based on, somebody else's creation, and giving them the credit for the inspiration. Thanks :)
