The August 10th challenge at Stampin' for the Weekend was monochromatic. I missed posting for that challenge due to an oversight. However, I found out that I missed it so it's a real shame that yesterday when I found a note to make a monochromatic card for the 19th I hurried off to get it done. Hmmm, the fact that the 19th was last week should have been my first clue, the fact that the monochromatic challenge was the one I know I missed might have set off a warning but no, I set done to work, with great purpose to make this card. Well, I'm glad I did because I like it and I don't think I would have made it if I didn't think I owed it, monochromatic is not usually on my mind.
So today I had to sit down and make my card for Friday. I like that one too so if you remember and have the time come back to see it.

Today's the day we take the time to let Dad know that he's the best. At Cupcake Inspirations we have cuppies with ties on them to inspire us. A sweet (no pun intended) choice for today. If you Dad doesn't wear ties you can be inspired by the colors and patterns in the photo. It doesn't even have to be a Father's Day card, it just has to be whatever you are inspired to make. So everybody can play along.
All that fun stuff you have for scrap booking can be used on cards too. Obviously the ties on these cuppies stand out. That was one element I wanted to use on my card but I don't have a tie stamp (how's that even possible?) so I went looking through my stickers and found some stickers. I combined them with some stamping to come up with this card. What will you do? We sweeties can't wait to see what you do with the inspiration photo so get inky and join us.
Here's the deets:
stamps - Stampin' Up ""Form and Function" and Tim Holtz "Curious Possibility"
ink - VersaMagic "Aegean Blue"; Memento "Dandelion" and "Rich Cocoa"
paper - Stampin' Up "Kraft" cs and "Paper Notebook" dsp
miscellaneous - K and Co. dimensional stickers; baker's twine and mini brads
Here's the challenges:

Paper Play week 24 - For a Man with Twine
