Today I have a little different technique to share. I am part of a challenge design team and the challenge for this time is Washi Tape. Stampin’ Up! doesn’t currently have any Washi Tape. But I had some leftover. To complete the challenge I decided on a rainbow. However, this same card could be created with your scrap strips of DSP or cardstock just as well.
As I said at the top of the page, this challenge is a Washi Tape challenge. I found some retired Washi Tape and used it to create my rainbow. If you would like to see other Washi Tape cards, click on the MMM banner below and it will take you to the challenge.
Stamps and Dies
I used the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle to create the focal layer of this card. That sweet sentiment is from the stamp set. It was stamped first so I had the curved area to build my rainbow. The Washi Tape was added to a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock. They were layed down at an angle across the paper and butting up next to each other. When there was enough space to fit the rainbow die, the piece was die cut. This technique is done quite often with scraps of cardstock. Like the 1/4″ and smaller pieces with trim off.
There are actually five arches to the rainbow. However my space was not large enough to hold all five. A bit of a creative license was used and you see the results. The arches are secured with a light touch of Multipurpose Glue.
Embossing
Since this card is a different technique than normal for me, I continued on with the different. The Gingham Embossing Folder was my choice. Whenever I use an embossing folder I alway ask myself the same question. And that is “why have I not done this in a while?”. LOL!!!
Colors
To determine the colors used on this card, I referred to the Washi Tape. And also kept in mind that rainbows are bright colors. So Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green are paired with the Basic White. For a finishing touch I added three Daffodil Delight dots from the Playing With Pattern Dots.

I love the way you’ve used the tape on this and I agree it would look just as lovely in scraps (and I’m always looking for ways to use those). Thanks for the inspiration. Love Dawn x
