TLC823 ~ Make Some Plaid with Inked Tape ~ 11/30/2020

[k dunbrook]

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 masking tape on glossy paper. Well since many of us don't own any glossy paper and the masking tape 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

Here's a link to our TLC823, Make Some Plaid with Inked Tape gallery.

Here is the card I created for this challenge:

This sounds like great fun, Karen. As usual Monday is work and then housework, but I'll be along as soon as I can to try this.

Yay! Plaid! Heading down to the craft room right now. Yippee!

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.

Made a Christmas card this evening using this inked plaid technique.  Lots of fun!  Wasn’t sure mine would turn out, but I’m happy with it.

Thank you for the challenge, haven't used this for quite some time, a fun challenge.  Here is my TLC823 - Make your own Magic.

I have never done this technique before.  I will call it a distressed card.  Here is my card.

[Cook22]

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 ;-).
