TLC823 ~ Make Some Plaid with Inked Tape ~ 11/30/2020
Hello and Welcome to the TLC this week.
I am revisiting a challenge I did over 2 1/2 years ago called Magic Masking Tape or as I called it, Inking with Tape.
To add a twist this time though, I am challenging you to use this technique to create a plaid background since plaid is all the rage right now especially for holiday cards.
Make Some Plaid with Inked Tape
In the past, it was referred to as 'Magical Masking Tape' technique. With that technique you needed to use maskingtape on glossy paper. Well since many of us don't own any glossy paper and the maskingtape could tear regular cardstock, I decided to rename it to Inking with Tape. I used Painter's Tape but you could use Washi Tape or even Scotch Tape if that is all you have on hand.
I have added a link to Beate's original post above if you need a visual of how to do it.
Basically it's the same technique only using longer pieces of tape to create some plaid on regular cardstock.
Be sure to add the keyword to your card so it will appear in the gallery
Truly an "inky fingers" for me with your challenge. Karen. : ) The next time I do this technique, I think I will use more contrasting colors for a better plaid. Thanks for the challenge.
This was a fun challenge. I only got a little bit of ink on me! LOL Here's my card.

Okay, I kinda went crazy with a four set for this one....I always try to do cards in at least sets of fours. I think this will go to a great trail riding friend of mine.
I am finally getting to this - and had fun with it. Though I did end up with very inky fingers and wondered if I should have gone with my first thought of wearing gloves ;-).
