Little Paper Shop's May release previews continue. Today it is a great set titled "Father" for all the guys in our lives (see how fast Mother's Day is over!). This set is full of great sentiments and singe word stamps. Today the LPS design team is blog hopping, so be sure to check out the rest of the design team's projects. One commenter, who leaves comments all along the hop will win a $15 gift certificate to the LPS Store!!! You have until Wednesday at 10 pm to comment and win the certificate! That is enough moola to pick up a fun set and still cover shipping! If you just happened to stop by to say hi, be sure to start at the Little Paper Shop Blog and make your way back to me. If you are coming from the talented Julie Lacey's - Stamps & Taxes blog then you are where you need to be.
I decided to challenge myself twice, the first part is making a "guy" card and the second part was combining it with this week's Little Paper Shop blog color challenge. I guess I really challenged myself a third time, because take a look at the color challenge and in no way does it call out "guy" card to me :>)
Play along with the color challenge (you do not have to make a "guy" card) and you may just win the cute digi Katie Mushroom. Link up your creation HERE by Sunday May 16th at 9 pm EST.
To make it all work I decided to make kraft my neutral and stamp "Dad" from the Father set over and over in all the challenge colors. I just love the definitions for Father, Dad and Grandfather that can be found in this set. I see scrapbook pages in my future in addition to more Father's Day cards!
Up next in the hop is the fabulous Silvia of Mabie Stampin'!
Have a great start to your week!
Smiles, Julie

ReplyDeleteIt's great how you used the challenge colors on the card! I always think masculine equals the neutrals, blues, and greens for colors, but using these colors looks really nice!
