Faux Washi Tape

I have really enjoyed and welcome all the ideas from Pam Thorburn this week and tonight's challenge really jumped out at me. I have never made washi tape before and the drippy background is my kind of messy.
I began by painting the masking tape, didn't have any double sided so passed on adding tissue. Next I stamped with black archival.
I watered down my frescos and sprayed and dripped the colours. they didn't always go where I wanted
them to so helped a few along. I did some stamping and arranged the faux washi tape.

I mounted my photo onto black card and then doodled around it in black and white pens to make it stand out. did a little more doodling with white pen, added lettering and a little bit of writing.
I am happy with my page and would like to thank Pam for such an enjoyable play!

    Perfect background for George's image to be placed, perfect amount of white space & vibrant colour.

    Didn't you follow Darcy's post on making your own washi tape?

    Glad you couldn't wait to get this done and shared your play results. Great page:-) x

    Your drippings are so much more defined than mine! The background you've created complements the photo perfectly.
