					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Close To My Heart Corp hosts a weekly challenge on their Instagram (@ctmhcorp). Every Monday they will post an inspiration or a theme for us to create. This is not only a challenge, but also an inspiration for all of us to create something using any of our CTMH supplies.</p>
<p>To join this challenge, make sure you put hashtag #jrlcreativechallenge on every project you enter for the challenge. You have until Sunday midnight to enter. This week, the theme is &#8220;Use Washi Tapes.&#8221; And I created a card for this challenge:</p>
<p> <a href="http://helengullett.com/"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/helengullett.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/IMG_5155.jpg?w=760" lt="by Helen Gullett http://helengullet.com" class="aligncenter size-full" /></a></p>
<p>I used White Daisy cardstock to create the card base (4.25 x 5.5). And then I added some Gold Polka Dots Washi Tape to create the base card, then on a piece of watercolor paper, I wrote the sentiment using Pencil watercolor &#038; just added water using the aqua brush to create the watercolor. Added it on the card using 3D foam tape and finished it with Gold assortment sequins, Silver assortment sequins, Clear Sparkle Assortment, and some glitter glue.</p>
