I realize that washi tape isn't for everyone
but I'm having lots of fun with it, I like being able to take something *inexpensive and use it to create backgrounds, embellish with it, mix and match in any old way I please.
So, I wanted to show and share a bit more.
Someone else mentioned that you can make your own washi tape by using regular masking tape, stamping and coloring it any old way you please! That is a great solution and very economical as well. You not only save money but it's far more personalized to your project.

Washi Postal Art Tag
I found some washi tape that screamed postal art and would pair perfectly with a few stamp sets I have. I started off with a black tag...
and added some strips of washi in a diagonal pattern.
I left enough space between each strip so that I could stamp a few postal related images...
So now you've got a fun tag already but let's kick it up a notch...
I used Picket Fence Distress Stain on an "Air Mail" and a Cancellation Mark stamp.
These were alternately stamped in each strip between the washi tape.
Here's what it looks like at this point...
I then stamped a little postman and package and mounted them onto the tag
added some ribbon and finished it off with a little Miss You on the package.
You could add a little message on the back of the tag with a white gel pen.
and here's a close up of the little guy...
he was colored with Spectrum Noir markers.
All stamps are: Stampers Best - Deep Red Stamps

Love that washi tape on the black tag.

Very cute! Another alternative to masking tape - paper tape from the pharmacy. And it's white! Easy to change the color of it.
