For my layout I used the current Retro Sketch. I pulled out a favorite Hero Arts set, Antique Flowers & Butterflies because it has a little butterfly perfect for the little grouping you see on the sketch and because it comes with matching dies! But much to my dismay I discovered that the die for the little butterfly is missing!! Ugghh!! So instead of die cutting all the butterflies I had to cut them out! Oh well... they still look pretty. The Washi tape I acquired during my last shopping trip to Impress Rubber Stamps. I think my biggest problem with Washi tape is the two rolls I had I did not buy and sometimes when I have a paper crafting item that I did not buy it is hard for me to use because it isn't necessarily something I would have picked out. I did a bit of fiddling with the tape to get the look I wanted and so I'm relatively happy with it and may purchase another roll this week when I go to Impress to pick up some dies I had on order. My card would also work for CAS-ual Fridays, but not sure if I will include it in their challenge. The current challenge at A Blog Named Hero is freestyle... anything goes so I will pop it into that challenge.Thanks for stopping by....
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI white; Stamps: Hero Arts; Ink: Stampin Up! Night of Navy; Washi Tape; Hero Arts gems

Yes, washitape is here in Belgium also a new trend, but I haven't use it yet. When I see how gorgeous your card is, I will take a hurry to go to the shop and buy some of this tape!!

I`ve managed to resist washi tape too but you`ve used it beautifully. Well done on fussy cutting the butterfly`s too, they`re gorgeous.

The washi tape is very effective Rosie in the way you've used it. Love those butterflies, fabulous fussy cutting:)

Hello Rosie
What delightful butterflies, and the use of the green Washi tape is the Pop of colour that relates a warmth to the card, all that glistening White is so clean one would almost complain it is sterile! But CAS does this to me, it drives me crazy because I know I would have to fill the space up.... do you think there is something wrong with me?
It is a card that has an enormous appeal Rosie, even to me.
Smiles:)

I wish I had some butterfly dies that matched a stamp...would make life easier. I love how the card turned out. I've been watching the washi tape trend too. I've ended up with 3 or 4 rolls of it, but have never used it. Somehow, when I use it, it never looks right.
Love your use of washi tape! Beautiful take on the sketch and I love the butterflies!
Great use of the washi tape. Just got my first roll, so we'll see if I can do anything with it!
I'm a washi newbie ... first used it last week and love it! So glad you jumped on the bandwagon. It works so well on your card!
this is ust gorgeous!!!
Beautiful clean and simple card!
These butterflies look marvellous over the washi tape.
Simply super and your washi tape looks exactly straight ..... not like mine!
