Easy Painter's Tape Technique cards

We had a super fun technique challenge at our November demonstrator gathering, and I wanted to share some of the cute cards people came up with using the Painter's Tape Technique.

Isn't that a cool look? So random! If you haven't tried this technique yet, literally all you need is an ink pad and some kind of tape–masking tape or painters tape works the best, but you can use any kind, including washi tape! Just press the sticky side of a strip of tape into the ink pad (doesn't hurt it, never fear) and then press it ink-side down onto your paper.

You can reuse the same strip of tape several times before it gets too inky to be effective any longer. And of course, this works best on well-inked pads.

There was also a plaid one that was just stunning, but I did not get a photo of it, I guess. Maybe Lori will link to it here in the comments? : )

This technique lends itself to all kinds of creativity. Joann masked off the center of her card using a Festive Flurry Framelits die cut, then radiated her tape strips out from the center. It took a while, but the finished effect is gorgeous!

So if you haven't tried this technique yet–go get some painter's tape and give it a go! There's a reason it's been all over the internet lately–it's super fun!
