Neutral Ground

Hi'ya'll,
I'm pleased to say I've managed to get some time in my craft room this morning after having James off school the last three days with... lets just say issues related to his Autism so it's great to have some creative time today and still in time to play along with Less is More this week :0)

Mandi and Chrissie have a colour challenge for us this week   NEUTRALS  .... wow the thumbnails look amazing, all those yummy browns and creams :0)

I've used the 'Lovely Leaves' set from PTI and used the stepped mount technique again but without the foam tape between this time! The patterned strip is homemade Washi Tape that I've decorated with leaves from the same stamp set. It's quite easy to make with a strip of double sided tape (whatever width you want the tape to be) and tissue paper, I've used tan coloured here.


Simply stick a length of tape to the tissue paper and then trim to the width of the tape or narrower if required. Then decorate with inks and stamps... remembering that pigment inks take longer to dry (ask me how I know that!!!)  Peel the backing off and use it on your project :0
This is the video tutorial I used


Top Tip: remember the one layer of tissue is going to be a lot paler than the colour of the folded pack and the shade will change depending on the colour of the base card you're adhering it too :0)

Apologies for not visiting you much over the last few days... hope to rectify that later but for now I have a ton of jobs to do and an ever hopeful mutt sitting by my side wanting a walk.

Thanks for your visit :0)
