Tenia's HYCCT challenge was to use Washi Tape as a background. I'm not a big fan of Washi Tape (though I'm not sure why), so I've never bought any. I did, however, find the tutorial for Faux Washi Tape rather interesting and bought some Post-It label tape when I was in Staples. I CASEd this card from today's Featured Stamper (TesaB) which looked like it could be done with Washi Tape. I stamped the images onto the Post-It tape, sponged on the red and colored the koi with markers. I hope the challenge police don't come after me because that tape really isn't a true "background." But it's as far as I'm going!

Lois, your faux washi is for-reals delish! Stunning case my friend!

I'm with you on the washi tape...I bought a couple dollar rolls, but just not a fan....however, I am going to do this HYCCT challenge! Love the way your faux tape turned out on your pretty card, Lois!

I don't own washi tape either, and I hope my faux tape ends up as nice as yours! Love this!
