Create a Layout with Lovely Checkered Layers Using Washi Tape | Lovely Layers with Lilith (with Video Tutorial!)

Hello, and welcome to another edition of Lovely Layers with Lilith featuring Altenew washi tapes.

In today's episode, I will be creating a layout with a checkered design. This simple layering technique can be used with wider as well as thinner washi tapes, and you can create an array of looks with different colors.

Main supplies used:

• The star of today's episode: Sweet Dreams Washi Tape Set
• Rose Petal Washi Tape Set
• Gel Printing Soft Washes 6×6 paper pack
• Simple Nesting Flowers Die Set
• Nesting Labels Die Set
• Magnificent Branch Stamp Set

How to Create Checkered Layers on a Layout Using Washi Tape

1. Create a checkered pattern with one of the tapes from the Sweet Dreams Set. Pick your favorite color.
2. Add Rose Petal Washi and Sweet Dreams Washi to leftover scraps of white paper.
3. Cut out flowers and petals using the Simple Nesting Flowers Die set.
4. Cut out a large label using the Nesting Labels Die Set.
5. Cut out flowers and leaves from the 12×12 Enjoy the Ride Breezy Patterned Paper.
6. Place the label and photo on the layout.
7. Create a flower cluster beneath the photo.
8. Create a smaller cluster on the top to the left-hand side.
9. Stamp three sentiments from the Magnificent Branch Stamp Set.
10. Create a triangle shape when placing the stamped sentiments.

TIPS:

• Layering washi will darken the color.
• Use foam tape for extra dimension.
• No gradient cardstock on hand? Altenew's Gradient Washi Tapes will do the trick.
