Dad's Pajamas

I received the PTI Guide Lines Two Stamp Set for Christmas.  I have so many ideas of ways to use it in my head, but I'm not sure how it all works on paper.  I need to stock up on masculine cards, so I decided to put ink to paper and use it.  When I finished the card I realized the colors and pattern look very similar to a pair of pajamas my father wore!  Well, that must mean I achieved masculine.


For the second day celebrating Papertrey Ink's eighth anniversary, we are challenged to create a card inspired by one of Mailes Belles' creations.  So many things about her cards inspire me!  For this card I chose her splitting technique, but took a wider approach, and I used her colors from her feather card that was featured as one of the color recipes.

All papers and inks are from PTI.  The colors include:  Blueberry Sky, Spring Rain, Ocean Tides, Aqua Mist, and Smokey Shadow.  The sentiment die is One Liners: Happy, and the stamped sentiment is from Happiness in Bloom.

  6. What a great card Kara, and I love how it reminded you of a pair of your dad's pajamas...that's just too cute! And yeah to you for doing a masculine card! I always need them but always seem to gravitate toward the flowery and bright colors. And this card definitely looks like a Maile card...well done! :0)
