Moxie Fab - Decorative Tape Challenge


This is the last day (midnight tonight) to enter the Moxie Fab Decorative Tape Challenge. OF COURSE IT IS!!!! It's been a little crazy here with doctor/hospital visits since the end of January, but I found a bit of stress relief by joining a few challenges. In this one, Cath wants us to create a paper crafted project that incorporates decorative tape in an innovative way. Here's the link to get some inspiration:

I don't have any decorative crafty tape in my vast supply of stuff (at least I don't remember buying it if I do :) but I found this Desk Tape at the Dollar Tree in the school supplies aisle. I immediately thought of this cute stamp I picked up at Hobby Lobby months ago and created this birthday card for one of the "littles" in my life.

My card ~ click on the image for more details. I stamped the image on white cardstock first, then on several colored pieces and paper pieced each animal on top leaving some of their parts on the original stamping and using a pop dot to add the colored paper image. Coloring was done with water color markers.

Cardstock: Blue base note card is from Studio G; white mat is PTI
Stamp: Party Animals by Penny Black; Wood-grain Background is from Stampabilities
Ink: Sepia by Ranger Archival; Markers from Sanford; chalked in some blue sky around the animals
Embellies: Alphabets and Numbers tape from Teaching Tree

Hope you are having a great Monday. Thanks for stopping by :o)
