Cheers to You Mom!

Here's a fun card for Mom made in the Slimline style. I tried a technique that Lauren Bergold on the Design Team has done which is to cover chipboard letters with washi tape. She had done a Dad card a while back using this technique and the Beer Washi and matching Beer Brads. I decided to try this for Mom and used the Wine Washi and Wine Brad Set and the Grapes Brad Set. 

I thought it would be fun to try coating the letters with an acrylic varnish. It worked! And now the letters have some nice shine which unfortunately doesn't show in the photos. I thought the washi might bubble or pull away from the chipboard but none of that happened.Think of the possibilities that could be used with this technique? I am going to try crackle medium and snow pen for a cool winter look next! You could coat the letters with varnish and sprinkle fine glitter on them too. I'm sure there are lots of things that could work on the Washi covered letters.

Have you tried the Slimline card size yet? If not, give it a try. And don't forget to visit Eyelet Outlet for a selection of washi tapes, brads and bling to make your cards special!
