Tips & Techniques Tuesday: Washi-Stickled Flower

Happy Tuesday, Stickle Lovers!  Karen N here from Craftily Yours, and today, I am super excited to show you a fun combination of washi tape and Stickles!

First, I started with a 1.5" circle and some washi tape.  I then wrapped and folded the washi around the circle.  When one row was done, I moved in a little and wrapped and folded some more.  Once I reached the inside, I just tore the washi tape off....and then fluffed up the edges a little.  The fabulous Tim Holtz has a video - HERE - if you are a video learner.

What Tim didn't do is to add some fabulous Stickles to adorn the flower!  I did!  I added a large glob in the middle and then used the tip that I dipped in the middle to lightly Stickle the edges.

When I was done and let it dry for quite a while, I have this cute, easy and sparkly flower...

I've been in a Christmas frame-of-mind for the last month or so, so I used my Xmas Red Stickle washi flower on a holiday card...

Don't ya just LOVE Christmas?! I know I do!

Craftily yours,

Karen

Tips & Techniques Tuesday: Washi Tape & Stickles

Hello everyone its Cynthia here from the DT showing you a technique that
 you can use your Stickles with!

 Are you part of the Washi Tape Craze?!

If you are, stay tuned and check out this technique .

For today's technique I'm using some washi tape with designs already on them so I can easily follow the design and add the stickles on the places i want . 

You first place them down on a piece of paper. I used black so they could stand out and so I could see the design more clearly 

 Then you pick the colors of Stickles and Stickle away. 

The colors I used in order are:

X-Mas Red 

Lime Green 

Fruit Punch 

Turquoise

Eucalyptus

And this is how the stickles give the washi tape a cool, glittery effect:

The picture below is a closer look at the sparkles . 

I added an extra piece of washi tape on the top as you can see because 

it wasn't enough washi tape after all. 

For that last minute piece I used the color Magenta.

And this is my finished result, a card using sSickles 

with some washi tape to give it a very cool look.

Thank you for stopping by to see my technique. 

I hope you liked it and inspired you to use it in the future .

-Hugs Cynthia :)
