Altered Playing Card Challenge, Week 24: Washi Tape

I'm once again joining Claudine at Claudine's Art Corner, where for Week 24, the prompt was Washi Tape.  For once I can't say I don't have the supplies I need to complete this week's cards, because, as some of you remember (and maybe I was reading Claudine's mind), I recently made a few of my own tissue and faux washi tapes.

As always, I started with my two lightly gessoed playing cards

and got out my handmade and purchased washi tapes.

The purchased tapes for the second card seemed to have a theme, and one that was quite similar to one of Claudine's.  Although I had no dies, I had a butterfly I had been gifted by Annette (Voodoo Vixen).

So, I used the butterfly as a template to create the washi tape butterfly.  I cut a piece of thin cardboard, placed the butterfly over it, then drew the butterfly.  Next, I added washi tape, then cut the entire assembly out.

I considered various things I could stamp on the black and white card, but settled for the reindeer I purchased specifically for one of Claudine's challenges.  I figured it would be the last time I would use it, so might as well get some good out of it.  My hands were so cold, I didn't want to cut out the antlers, so I stamped directly on the washi tape.  I think it was a mistake, but I can live with it.

Not exactly what Claudine had in mind, but I still was quite happy with what I had created, considering all I had was the washi tape and playing cards to work with this week.  More than I normally have to complete her challenges!

Thanks as always, for the wonderful comments you leave.  They keep me going in this challenge which thankfully, has only THREE more weeks to go.
