Hello Beautiful by Giovana Smith

Hello everyone! Hope you all have a great Christmas/Holiday season, I relaxed and didn't do as much as I wanted, but it OK, sometimes you need to slow down.

So today, I have an elegant card for you, the steps are very simple and easy. " This card is a 6" x 6" square.

Step 1: Gather all your materials together, I ended up using 1/4" gold metallic and 1/8" white.

Step 2: Cut a piece of patterned  paper, this one is 2" x 5.25", then apply the 1/8" Gold Metallic Tape every 1/4" (as seen in picture)

Step 3: Now add the 1/8" White Crepe Tape in between gold tapes.

Step 4: Add piece to  5.25" x 5.25" patterned paper.

Step 5: Add a piece of 1/4" Gold Metallic Tape to die-cut border panel.

Step 6: Add sentiment a heart, Add embellishments.

Here is the final look. Love the color combo and the gold and white tape really add an extra elegant touch.

Hope you like it!

Have a fantastic day!!

Hello friends!! Giovana here with another super Clean and Simple Christmas card using a watercoloring technique and delicate metallic tapes to accent the background.

For this card I used 1/16" Gold Metallic and 1/32" Silver Metallic Tape. 

For the background first I created a washed background using Aquamarine Spectrum Aqua and a bit of Teacup Spectrum Sparkle, then added the metallic tapes leaving about .5" space in between lines.

Then added my die-cuts and stamped "love and peace", finally added little pearls.

Hope you like it.

Art Canvas by Giovana Smith

Hello friends! How are you all doing today? Hope it is a good day! Today I am participating in a collaboration blog hop, I made this canvas (and I love how it turned out).

I used 3 different colors to my canvas, I was very impressed how the tape stayed in place, the canvas got sprayed, painted over the tape and the tapes never peeled off!!

I added on top and bottom right corners 1/4" Blue and White Masking Tape, I also added 1/8" Gold Metallic Tape 

You can find more details on my blog HERE

Hello friends!! Giovana here today with a very Fall-y card. Fall is my favorite season, love seeing all the leaves changing colors, fresh weather (in the PNW) and a lot of pumpkin everything {wink, wink}

So today I have a very simple card with Fall colors using this new set from Concord & 9th.
The background was created with Color Burst, then I added 1/16" Purple Masking Tape and 1/16" Gold Metallic Tape. I also added a strip of 1/16" Gold Metallic Tape to the brown leaf.

Hope you like it!

Hello friends! Giovana here today bringing you a super easy technique to create a super cool background. 

For this technique I used 1/8" black crepe tape and 1/16" gold metallic tape. 

Here I used a piece of white cardstock, size 3.75" x 5", I started adhering the 1/8" black crepe tape and then 1/16" gold metallic tape, then I left about .5" space and repeated the process.

I stamped a sentiment , added a die-cut word and flowers from Concord & 9th  and the card was done!! 

Here you can see the tape colors showing much better.

Hope you like it.

Have a fantastic day!!
