This card has a short story: I wanted to use washi tape on a card today, so I found this challenge about "sparkle" and wanted to play along so I started with that lovely silver shiny wahi tape, well after reading the rules to that blog challenge I realized I had went overboard with embellishments, but I didn't want to waste my washi tape so I looked for another challenge to play along with:
It was perfect!! And the washi tape looks like nice foil wrapping paper for the gift I stamped. I colored it in and then cut it out. and of course pasted it down without a layer so I had to rip it back up carefully to add a layer or two.. then re paste. I love how real the bow looks. My Grandma would too. In fact this year I got her a little magnet bow for Christmas. She always saved the ribbon bow. Since we were kids every gift we always received we knew to give the bows back to grandma.
The one I bought for her is red. I hope she will like it, and that it sticks to her fridge. They are for the top of candles. So I might have to add some extra magnets to it.
I'm also adding another picture of my squirrel friends. This one is busy feasting on corn with a flurry of snow swirling around him.
Thank you so much for stopping by.
Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping.
Just love Grandmas who keep the bows! Mine always had her eye on the boxes, too. Love your card...the gift is a perfect central image for this sketch, and the little bow makes it extra special. Thanks for joining the fun at AHSC.

Great card, PJ! I had no idea washi tape could be so shiny, I thought you had used foil papers, but I love how it looks. I also love the wrapped present image you chose, and how detailed the bow is. Cute story too, I like reading peoples' stories and write ups and getting a peak into their creative process and special memories. Thanks for sharing with us this week at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.
