{Sun} Sweets: Washi Meets...Lilies

Hello,

I have a card, using washi tape, to share today...I didn't post it on Wed since I already had 2 post for that day...

I stamped the lily 3 times with VersaMark, sprinkled white embossing powder on, brushed off some sections for a "faux masking" (although I missed a spot), heat embossed, and colored with Copic and ShinHan TouchTwin markers.
I stamped the frame and "He is risen" on patterned paper, fussy cut it and turned it into a "vase/pot".
I added the washi tape on the left and stamped a border...

And here's the inside of the card:

Washi Meets...Decorate to Celebrate DT Challenge #95: Altered Switchplate

Hello,

It's Wednesday, and it means it's Decorate to Celebrate time! Wed is also when I post creations using washi tape!!!

I am so ready for Spring!!! It's still cold and snowing here...

So here it is...Washi Tape Meets...Altered Switchplate!

Challenges:

1. JUGS #282: Photo Inspiration (don't know if they accept projects other than cards, but since the colors are from their challenge, thought I would link to it, too!)

2. WAW #173: Anything Goes

3. MMMC #10: Birds of a Feather

4. SSS Mon: Just a hint of clover...

How-To:

The bird is a vinyl sticker, and I already had it there before.

I took the switchplate off, covered it with the gold polka-dot washi tape and put it back.

I cut the roses from Art Philosophy Cricut (2 different sizes), rolled them and added gold glitter.

I stamped 2 flower images with leaves, colored them with Shin Han Touch Twin and Copic markers and heat embossed them in clear 3 times.

Then, I added the stamped images and the roses on the switch plate.

retired SOTM
