Roses are pink

There was a technique shown on Pinterest that intrigued me enough to take a closer look so I followed it to this URL – https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=h5RjkDo_eOA The demonstrator uses packing tape with an embossing folder. I thought it was interesting so did my own take on the technique. Initially I followed her instructions but I added to them. I found a small very pale pink piece of scrap CS that I covered with the tape and then placed into an unbranded EF. I love the 3D effect this folder gives. I found it was a bit too pale although I really liked the shine from the tape. I didn’t think I could colour over the tape so I decided to let a couple of alcohol ink pens bleed through from the back. This only worked because the CS is very thin but it sure made a difference to the image and I really like the effect. Using another piece of scrap this time in red I put that through a regular EF allowing the slight white cracks that resulted. I added foam tape to the focal piece and a red twine. I couldn’t tie a bow for love nor money today so I scrunched it over some tape and then added the heart sentiment on top. I used one of the pens around the edge of the heart. Once I was happy with the focal piece I added it to the red layer deliberately setting it from the upper left corner and then it was added to the note card.

The card fits three challenges so I am entering it into the following:
