Steampunk Washi - 3 from 1

Today I wanted to share a fun way to really extend your washi tape (or other similar embellishments)...I'm going to make three cards from a single piece of washi covered paper!

 

To start off with I cut a sheet of 4x5.25" cardstock and began covering it with various washi tapes.

 

I trimmed off the excess and lightly sanded the edges.
(the sanding is so I can ink the edges easier later on.)

 

I then die-cut the paper into 3 different pieces...

I cut a large wavy piece leaving a nice frame and then cut gears from the center of the wavy piece.

 

Each of the elements went onto a separate Steampunk themed card....

 

Here is the frame....

 

 

And the wavy piece...

 

And finally the gears....
