My Other Creations: Travel Folders using Jane Davenport Washi Tape

"Road Trip" is this week's theme at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog.  I decided to make some mini-folders with a travel theme:

I started with some manila folders I had in my stash (about 5" x 8" in size).  I covered them with scraps of gray, white and black patterned paper.

Next I painted mostly everything white.

I added another layer of white and when the paint was dry (overnight), I added some Jane Davenport Washi tape.

Next I smeared on acrylic paint, then whited it out a bit, then added some stamping, more paint, etc.  I painted both the insides and the outsides of the folders.  I also drizzled some Jane Davenport scented ink down from the top edges and sprayed it with water.

I cut patterned paper into some scallop-shapes for the borders of my folders.  I went back in with a black Sharpie and outlined some of the stamped circles and scallop edges.  I typed some sentiments out on my We R Memory Keepers typewriter and added those on.  Here are the final results:



On this one, I also added a Tim Holtz wildflower that I cut with my Sizzix Big Shot.

Here are the supplies I used that you can get at Simon Says Stamp:

I do love the thought of road trips, so I can't wait to see how you interpret our theme.  be sure to upload your creations to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog for your chance to win a $50 voucher to the Simon Says Stamp store!
