Tips from the show

• You can mix washi tape embellishments from different collections as they all interchange.
• Don't overwhelm the design; you don't need to use every embellishment.
• The washi tape is semi-porous and will accept water and colour, so you can add additional embellishments with sparkle pens or other media.
