Well I got a little crafty today taking care of some DT projects. I also was kinda' challenged by Michele over at I Card Everyone to enter the Muse Challenge. Well more like she talked me into it. lol So the Muse over at Muse Challenge is Vickie Dutcher and we are to use her card for inspiration. Well, I'm not great with putting together pattern papers at all. But thought I would give it a go since Michele wanted me to play along. The inspiration I got from Vickie's card was not to use pattern paper but to use washi tape instead! I hope I'm not illegal and still will qualify to play along. I took some washi that came together in a box, so I figured they had to go together, right? I loved the colors a lot, so I began. I took a scrap piece of paper and started adding the washi tape. The flowery blue tape, I put on twice to make it wider on the panel at the bottom of the card. Then I just keep adding the washi. When I thought I had enough on the bottom, I started on the top. Then I cut it apart and popped each panel up on my card. I used a MCT stamp and die for my Hello Beautiful. I practiced stamping on the washi tape and did great, but when I did it on the card I rocked my stamp some, bummer-but I didn't think I warranted peeling off the tape and starting over, so I left it. I added some black sequins like Vickie did and it was finished. I am pretty happy overall with this card. I think it is beautiful and I don't often say that about anything I make. lol

Very pretty and bright card.
I bet that 4-wheeler ride was fun :) It was a gorgeous day and a lot of snow melted, and we're in for temps in the 40s for the coming week - so YAY!!! I love the card with your washi tape! The colors with the big bold sentiment look perfect together, and I love those tiny sequin accents! Great card!
You did a great job with the Washi, Brenda. The colors and patterns are quite striking. So is the bold sentiment. Excellent CASE. Good luck with your crops :)
Beautiful, Brenda. Love the patterns and colors of your tapes. They go so well together. (I never know what to do with the stuff) Love this card.
Fantastic card you did well on the lift, the colors are so bright and palyful :) Sounds like you had a wonderful day yesterday. Dave enjoyed being out all day too I think making Bird houses fro around the property maybe draw in some blue birds :) You have a fantastic week my PA twin :) hugs my friend :)
Challenge accomplished! This is awesome and yes, you are to be inspired, so using washi works, and worked, awesome! Thanks so much for joining in at Muse! Vick....i
WTGo with this challenge. I love Vicki's card, with the patterns & neutral tones. BUT I loved YOUR card with those bright patterns and pops of color. It's just the tonic I need to keep thinking about spring. This is going to definitely bring a lot of cheer to whomever receives it. Like the way you've got that bold black sentiment and the tiny sequins for embellies. CAS, but brilliantly so. I LOVE it! You did great! TFS & Big hugs. MM
LOVE your card Brenda!! :) Fresh and fun with the mix of colours and patterns of the washi tape. Great job! Loll xx
I LOVE your bright colors of Washi Tape! The big, black hello plays off these colors so well!
I hope you won't mind me doing this Brenda but I want to Pin this onto one of my Pinterest boards. It's such a clever idea and a great way to create some quick cards using those self multiplying snippets! Awesome card - thanks for the inspiration! Karen xx
Oh, this IS beautiful, Brenda ... bright and vibrant and so spring like! Isn't washi wonderful for QACAS cards!! Hugs, Anita :)
