Test before You Plunge - Paper Tree


So yesterday I went merrily on my way making the first row of my newsprint tree. It looked nothing like my vision. So this morning I took the time to make a sample for both planned trees.

As you can see the burgundy trio washi looks fabulous on kraft paper but totally washed out on newsprint which is the path I went down yesterday.  The gold chevron and the silver line washi tape look very pretty on the plain newsprint.

Another thing I thought of is since washi tape is pretty expensive save every little snippet. Just put it on the waxy side of wax paper. I figure I can use all the little snippets on a card or tag.

Oh by the way if you're interested in finding out more about washi tape from a Canadian supplier head over to Omiyage's online store.
