Texture with masking tape

The talented scrapper MiaE is hosting a really fun challenge at Yvonne Yam’s blog Do more with less. (I really recommend Yvonne’s blog for inspiration :).) MiaE also has a tutorial on how to make texture using masking tape! Pop over to see her making the loveliest clouds! The challenge is to make texture on your page using masking tape or washi tape. I used both. This is what I came up with:
I started adding some crinkled masking tape. I then added gesso and acrylic paint. On top of that I added a lot of different washi tapes. I finally added some embellishments. :) The frame and the flower are doodled.
Here’s some close ups:
When I was in the middle of the process I thought it was too much – too much paint, too much washi tape… too much everything. But when it was finished I must say I love its craziness! What do you think? I hope you enjoyed looking!
Have a nice weekend!!!
