Washi Tape Textured Hearts by Iris

Hi everyone! This is Iris and I have a huge love affair with the washi tapes of Hambly. I use it to add color and design to my pages and it is also perfect to make colorful and textured die-cut shapes as embellishments for your pages.

Let me show you how easy and fun it is…

First you will need to select your washi tapes. Choose colors and patterns that will complement each other. Next, die cut a shape or you can also use any of your raw chipboard shapes. I used a heart here. Slowly cover the chipboard with layers of tape. Remember to crumple the tape as you go along so that you will have a nice textured finish to your piece. Here is an example of three finished washi tape covered hearts…And here they are used on a layout for my daughters…

I would also like to show you how fun it is to use even the brand and product texts in the rub-ons. I used those here to add both texture and design to random areas of the page…

Here are some close-up shots….
