multi-colored friend for life

a very simple card inspired by The Paper Players Challenge #192 - Washi-tastic CAS Challenge (a clean and simple design using washi tape)

and what a perfect way to use these lovely thin strips of multicoloured washi tape in my stash!

The sentiment is from Penny Black's Edge to Edge clear stamp set - stamped and heat-embossed in white on kraft-stock and mounted using foam tape. With a few simple embellishments (multicoloured pearl dots and a green flower) - the card is ready to go!

a polka-dotted themed card ..... with design inspired by this week's CAS(E) this Sketch #35

* the white card-stock was stamped with the little paint splatter stamp from Hero Arts - Brush Strokes stamp set, in different colors of blue, red, yellow, purple and grey
* after stamping, the card was embossed with a polka-dotted embossing folder
* different lengths of washi tape in corresponding colors were affixed to the left side of the card
* the scalloped oblong circles were die-cut using Spellbinders Nestabilities die-cuts in red cardstock and with a smaller piece in polka-dotted patterned paper, and then affixed to left side of the card with part of it folded behind the white cardstock
* the banner stamp and 'congratulations' sentiment stamp come from Paper Smooches Streamers and Sentiment Sampler stamp sets - I trimmed off the left side of the banner and chalk-colored the edges of the banner
