I went with the top row, which was surprising as I never really got into washi tape and only have a few rolls. I combined my card with both the inspiration pic and the sketch at Fusion Card Challenge.
I went with the fun technique of ink smooshing again - this time using Peacock Feathers and Squeezed Lemonade ink. Once I was happy with the smooshed panel, I dried it with my heat tool then stamped the sentiment in Archival Black.
I adhered some light gray washi tape to represent the banners in the sketch and a couple of staples. In keeping with the Paper Players challenge, I also used some blue sequins.
For the card base, I sponged Peacock Feathers ink around the edges of a white card to match the smooshing.
Thanks for visiting and head on over to The Paper Players to see which options the rest of the amazing design team have used.
Products used:
Stamps: The Big, the Bold and the Happy (Winner & Walter)
Ink: Archival Black, Peacock Feather, Squeezed Lemonade

Apologies for my late comment - I'm playing catch up! I love this card - the smooshing makes me nervous, but you make it look so easy! This card is gorgeous, and the washi tape element is perfect.
