Sabrina's WTUI challenge, We've Got This Taped is to use tape or tape techniques.
This is for a good friend who turns 82 this Saturday. I want to be just like her when I grow up!! The black glossy packaging from embossing folders has the texture and sheen of label tape. I embossed the sentiments and sanded the top to create faux Dymo Tape. I stamped the image with Stazon on glossy paper, trimmed it with deckle scissors and used this week's colors to spice things up. Finished it off with my faux Dymo tape and a Tim Holtz sentiment. TFL

Oh wow Carla, what a fun and fabulous creation for your friend. I love how you coloured the image and all faux dymo tape - who knew there was such a thing. Straight into My Favs.

Oh, fantastic! I bet the glossy black is perfect for a faux Dymo, and it makes for better spacing. I hate it when my letters end up a bit far apart, but I admit I only have the cheapest model. The sentiment tape looks fantastic, as does your colouring of those ladies, like an old hand-tinted photo. I bet your friend just loves this.

What a marvellous card this is! Love that image and the way you made it look like an old style photo with the deckle edges. Putting a smile on my face this morning!

Carla, Carla, Carla......your write up and this card make me smile today and that's a very necessary thing these days. Favd. In my humble opinion, there is no such thing as 'knowing better.' Most of us try hard but.....I love your color choices, especially the lime green.
