Life has conspired against my crafty time this past week - so to make up for lost time this card fulfills the requirements for FIVE challenges -
Get Sketchy #75, PTI's
Make It Monday #2 - Vellum Sentiment,
Embellish Magazines Color Challenge with Birds,
CARDS Challenge Gallery, and last but not least,
Moxie Fab World Challenge: Get Daring with Decorative Tape! Whew - that's some productive multi-tasking!
To "get daring" with tape I used two different blue tapes and layered them diagonally on a piece of cardstock -
Lifted every other strip and wove the tape until I ended up with a kind of fun plaid (I love plaid and argyle - I have on argyle socks right now - slippers and sweat pants too but it is late and I should be in bed, so no judging!) and used the Tim Holtz Caged Bird die by Sizzix to cut out the bird. I also used Tim Holtz Decorative tape to make the musical background behind the bird so I should get brownie points for using tape twice (right, Cath)?!
Anyhoo, a stamped sentiment (Papertrey Ink - Fillable Frames #3), Cappuccino baker's twine (The Twinery), glitter (Martha Stewart) and a few buttons from my stash finish up this card - Sleep tight!

Hmmm I really liked the plaid "paper" you created. I'm thinking a golf card for my husband now.
Kindest regards,

I tried this technique on a much smaller scale and no criss-crossing. Your way is MUCH better! Love the effect of the layering!
What cute little plaid birdie! You took multi-tasking to a whole new level! Love that decorative tape!
This is beautiful, and a great idea for tape.
