hands and hearts

ever since i made this fabric tape, i've been wanting to use it on a page in my journal.  

so i decided to snip a piece of each tape (i cut the floral tape into a triangle shape).......

and glued the pieces into my journal in the shape of a house. 

then, using my microns,  i wrote out a little quote to go with it.

but, when i finished, it definitely didn't look "done" to me.

so i added some watercolor to the page, along with some doodle marks on the house to

give it more definition and jazz it up a bit.  

i think it still looks like something's missing, though......

because sometimes when you work on something, it's not complete until
you add that final element......that perfect "finishing touch".......

and then you know without a doubt that, yes......now it's done!

fabric tape

i was in the mood to do something a little different, so i made some fabric tapes using scraps of fabric, brown packaging tape, and this tutorial!  they're really easy to make, and i think they'll add a little zip to journal pages and other studio projects!  if you're looking for something quick and fun to create this weekend, give this a try!  xox
