Pile It On! Challenge - Use Decorative Tape

This week at Pile It On! we're challenging you to use:

'Decorative Tape'
(Washi tape etc...)

Our sponsor for this challenge is Freckled Fawn:

And the prize is a fabulous $15 giftcard to spend in their wonderful store!

Now...I've never used any decorative tape before...and I had to go on a last minute emergency dash to Hobbycraft yesterday to get some! Thankfully, they had some 'decor tape'...although in not very inspiring colours or patterns...that'll teach me not to check the challenge themes in advance! Anyway, I picked up a roll of red & white spotty tape...and used it to create a background...carefully lining up the half spots on the edges of the tape:


Over the top of this, I added a layer popped up on 3D foam pads, into which I'd cut a heart shape, using my Cuttlebug 'Concentric Hearts' die, with a Hero Arts sentiment (from the 'Sentiments' set), a doodled border and a few adhesive pearls.

 
Here are the challenges I've piled on:
For more inspiration from my lovely DT buddies, please pop over to the Pile It On! Challenge.

    How fun!! Love that idea. I had to look close....I didn't see the top layer because it blended in so well. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us over at the Sisterhood and playing along with our heart challenge

    oh oh oh I love it. What an awesome way to use washi or any decorative tape. Seriously will be CASING that. Thanks so much for playing along with us in The Sisterhood of Crafters!

    PS: I had to chuckle about your "mad dash to the store" comment, lol.
