Oh dear, I was Trying to use up supplies as the cupboards are full, but a sale in paperchase undid my efforts

bAck homeI made two quick cards, just lining up the range of tapes direct on to cream linen effect card bases.

For the first I stamped in the gap, taking care to line it up.l I then realized if I put the greeting on first I could easily line the tape along it so for the second I stuck on a greeting (my handwriting scanned into scan n cut, cut three times on card and layered to create dimension) before taping around it

in both cases the tape is glamorous enough (Paperchase  peacock collection, only four pounds for 8 rolls) to leave off embellishment but some gems on one and black stickles on the other just finished it if

now back to my resolution about not adding to the craft hoard!
