The challenge at CASology is a fun one this week. I seem to love buying Washi Tape but only ever use it to get the little pieces pulled out of the die cuts or to hold my paper down when I'm using my Stamp-a-ma-jig : )
I used two different kinds of Washi from my stash for this card. On the main card base I laid two strips of the lime green polka dot and on the "bumped up" sections I laid down a strip of my other Washi -folding it over to the back so I could get two varied widths : )
I selected this retired Close to My Heart Sentiment which I have not used in a long time. A few years ago it was a popular one for me as I often sent it to my granddaughter who was struggling a bit with who she was and the choices she wanted to make - to follow or to lead. She is now a confident young woman about to graduate high school! and knows how to be her hot pink and lime green loving self! : )
Edited to add:
The hugely talented Joyce from Cards by the Sea blog invited me to add this card to the fun TIME OUT challenge. If you don't know her amazing work please consider checking out Joyce's blog and there is still time to join the fun at TIME OUT TOO!!
Thank you for stopping by and have a great weekend!

So cute Patti. So bright and sunny. I seem to use Washi tape the same way you do. To hold something down. lol.
Beautiful. I love the comp of Washi and that fabulous sentiment.
So cheerful and a great design for using washi!
(Not much, washi you up to?) You made me chuckle right from the start of your post, Patti! I must say I LOVE the colors of the washi you used, and your stamped image is perfectly coordinated. So soft and pretty and cheerful! That;'s a great sentiment, too...a wonderful CAS card! So glad you joined us at CASology this week!
What a great way to use your washi, might have to copy your idea and try to get some of my stash used up ;)
Great card, love how you have used the washi tape.
Bright and fun colours. Loved reading about your now confident granddaughter. Perfect sentiment and love the washi tape colours and shapes and how you've used it.
I love the card you made. Great subject matter in it too! I live on a farm. And, like you I have purchased Washi tape and hardly ever use it. Shame on me! I will have to change that soon. Sometimes a challenge is what we need to get us motivated.
Fabulous way to use Washi tape--very creative, and I absolutely adore your sentiment. Thanks so much for playign along at CASology this week. (and this would be a perfect fit at one of my other challenges--Time Out).
Brilliant idea to fold the Washi to get another width! Terrific card! I use my Washi mostly like you--haha!
Great use of the washi tape and terrific sentiment.
Great card love the way you put the washi tape inside and outside the layers.. neat idea. Gotta love it.
What a darling scene you created with the little red barn!! Terrific use of your not so much used Washi too. This is delightful Patti!
Hi Patti, great to see Joyce recommended you join us at TO as this sentiment is perfect for our challenge. And such a fab use of washi tape x
Fresh. Stunning and a great use of washi tape!
Thanks for joining us at Casology!
Loving how you used the washi here, Patti - I'm going to have to remember this! Thanks for playing along with CASology this week!
I really love that sentiment, Patti! I use washi for getting die cuts out too :). Love the scene you created here~
Oh, this is so fun! Thanks for reminding me to ink up this stamp.... I can't believe I haven't done so already!
Hi Patti! I am so far behind on my commenting so you are getting a one size fits all here! I have enjoyed each and every one of your cards! So much inspiration. But my favorite has to be this one! I love what you did with the washi - I must try that. And I love the colors. I really want this little stamp set - it is on my PTI wishlist! Thank you for keeping me inspired!! jane
Oh Patti, this is such a super fun and happy design!! I love how you've incorporated the washi tape into this!! :) Sending hugs
Fabulous! I love the bright and fun colours that you used and the sentiment is absolutely perfect for our challenge! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Time Out! Jill
Brilliant card. Love the "popped up area" and the varied width idea. Perfectly done. I recognized the sentiment. Great job with making the entire card POP!
Love this cheery scene, Patti. And, that you got to use some Washi tape you've been hoarding (I mean collecting) ;-)
PS: You are NOT alone!
