Celeste and I are back for the start of Autumn and another collaboration !! Celeste chose our theme for this month and it is something that is near and dear to my heart !! Washi Tape !! I think I am a bit obsessed with this craft supply.I must have hundreds of rolls and I use this supply often. I like to use it on my cards and also to decorate stationery, postcards for my snail mail friends. When I first started writing about washi tape on Facebook and in Messenger, it always auto-corrected it to Washington. But now after writing it hundreds of times, it must know exactly what I am trying to say ,because it leaves it alone !! LOL
When I saw the Stella Luna Digi Set from Vera Lane Studio, I fell immediately in love. Not your typical witch, kind of Harry Potter-ish, just a bit quirky !! It was perfect !! And I have been wanting to use this Tim Holtz washi forever. Hope you are as excited about this card as I am !!
- On a piece of white cardstock, I layered strips of washi tape from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology "Materialize" Design Tape Set and wrapped the edges to the back of the cardstock.
- I mounted the washi panel onto a piece of black cardstock, using a Tombow Mono Adhesive + Runner. I think the layered washi looks very much like a piece of patterned paper !!
- I printed the digital images of Stella Luna and her cat on Neenah Stardust White cardstock and then fussy-cut the images. The sentiment is also from the Stella Luna set.
- Stella Luna and her cat were colored using my Akashiya SAI Watercolor Brush Pens. I didn't smooth out the brush strokes on the cat so that it would look a bit like a gray tabby.
- I used a pencil eraser dipped in Stampin' Up ink to highlight the eyes.
- Ranger Inkssentials Glossy Accents were used on the glasses and the cat's eyes.
- Tombow MONO Aqua Liquid Glue adhered the images to the washi panel.

Take a look at Celeste's washi creation over at her blog, Crafting Junky. I'm excited to see what she came up with too !! I love how we have 2 totally different styles and can inspire each other to get creative with our themes each month.
For my coffee this month, I am drinking Pecan Pie coffee with Sugar Free Pumpkin Pie Spice Creamer. My guy found this cute Starbucks travel mug in the bedroom when he was going though some bags, so I had to use it !! I often waste a large cup of coffee or else end up reheating it throughout the morning, so this size travel mug is a good size for me.
Thank you for once again joining us for our collaboration !! I'm so glad it is the start of Autumn and after a Hurricane Florence scare and summer temps often reaching near 100 degrees, I am SO looking forward to sweater weather !! See you next month. Let me know if you have theme suggestions and if we use yours, I will send you the card that I make for that collaboration.
