My Mind's Eye Decorative Tape Madness

Hey there, friends!  I'm SO excited to share my latest My Mind's Eye project with you!  I'm up on the blog today :)  I was asked to create something featuring all the decorative tapes from MME, and I wanted to do something other than a layout.  I went canvas crazy!  I decided to create something for my scrap room, and you know I love bold & bright colors.  So I pulled out every roll of MME tape in my stash and chose the brightest ones.

This was SO much fun!  I love getting messy these days.  In addition to the tons of tape on this, I also used lots of Dylusions inks, which are SUPER bright.  I used a few different templates.  There's modeling paste and gesso in the mix, and also some very pretty gold glitter paint.  I threw in some MME chipboard and paper stickers, some brads, some enamel shapes & dots, some stamps and some thread.  I cut my Create title on my Cameo.  I loved doing this because it's just so random and abstract... you really can't mess up a project like this because you just keep adding layers of things.

This adorable camera sticker is from the Chalk Studio collection. I painted it blue and added some thread behind it. I love how the black pieces from Chalk Studio really stand out against all the bright colors.

You can see several pieces of the tape here, too. I like to tear off a long strip of tape and then tear it in half to give it an uneven look.

Here are lots more tape strips. I also used some old book paper to give the look of text through all the color and texture. I love how this Happy Day chipboard piece pops!

The birds are also from Chalk Studio. I chose to leave them white so they’d stand out. You can see some of the stamping here, too.



I just LOVE the glasses tape! I wear glasses half the time, so I wanted to include them on my project. The days of the week tape is another big favorite of mine from the Collectable line.

I hope this inspires you to pull out everything in your craft room that allows you to make a mess (haha) and throw it all down on a canvas!  Pull out those tapes.  Tear them, layer them, paint on them, stamp on them...they're versatile and so much fun.

Thanks for stopping in today...enjoy your Monday!
