Blue with Washi




I made this birthday card for one of my sons good friends in Germany. I used Washi tape and the Inkadinkadoo Set Bird Assortment (97729)  - its one of my favorite sets from them, I have used it often. Those birds are just hilarious! I colored them with Prismacolor markers. And guess what - they also will go into the Simon Says Washi tape challenge and the CASology "Blue" Challenge. I thought I would skip on those challenges this week - too many other ones, too little time and I just won the last Simon Says challenge anyhow, but this card just begged to be put into those - haha....!!

And here is a card my blogless sister made for me - a thank you for our yearly Chicago trip in December. I LOVE it - I hope you do too!


I wish you a Fun filled weekend and Martin Luther Kings Day  - and here something funny for my German friends:

My son goes:"Montag ist Martinstag, nicht wahr?"

Sorry, too complicated to translate.

Wow - love that plaid washi (I think I have to, being married to a Scotsman! lol!) And you're right - the expression on those birds' faces are priceless! Thanks so much for playing along with CASology this week!

Ah, Washi tape, das ist etwas das ich noch nie ausprobiert habe. Ich warte schon sehnsüchtig auf mein Packerl, in dem normalerweise die ersten beiden drin sind.
Wie du deine Karte damit gestaltet hast, finde ich sehr interessant. Wenn ich sie mir so ansehe, dann denke ich an Strand mit einem Pfosten und zwei Strandläufern... ....den Spruch finde ich ganz toll!
...Martinstag ist am 11. November.
