WMS Pyjama Party

Hello! I'm so pleased to join the WMS Pyjama Party - I was a little worried that my new stamps may not arrive in time, but they did last Friday.  I just love the nautical set so much.

Here's the first card I made for Challenge 1 - Tie a Knot in It

I used the Safe Harbour Sentiments and the Ocean Bound sets with an older set Very Vintage Labels 18.  Claire makes such great sets to play with and I had so much fun making the card.

I think the nautical theme is so great for masculine cards, and I am needing a few of these soon for my friends' birthdays.

For Challenge 2 - Get Nauty, I had more or less the same layout as the first.  When I looked at two cards, I couldn't really decide which challenges they should be paired with, cos I think they fit both the challenges...LOL!

Here's the card, I think it's a slightly fun card for a cool guy, maybe..


Challenge 3 is colour inspiration, something I always have trouble with.  I'm not the most patient person, and I want to finish making cards really fast, and having to find colours which match is always a huge challenge for me.  But, I was determined to play along.


Here's my take:


I also used one of my very first Waltzing Mouse stamp sets, Very Vintage Labels 1 on this card.


Finally, for Challenge 4 - Oldest Stamp it was fun to search out the Oldest stamp set in my stash.

On this card, I just couldn't resist adding the oldest (Very Vintage Labels 4) with a newer set (Compact Sentiments Part Two) and the newest set (Two Step Floral Sprig) in my WMS collection.  This is such a fun challenge, I love how the sets go so well together.

Wow, what fun it has been to participate in this PJ Party.  I really enjoyed the challenges, and get to play with the new stamp sets together with the older sets.  I can't wait to see what all of you create!

Thanks for visiting me.

Fabulous cards, Kary!
I agree with Julia...I love that fiber knot...
such a perfect accent!
And then how you "layered" your stamps sets from "oldest" to "newest"...
love it! :)

All beautiful, all so unique. Great depth, and definitely masculine (the 1st). Love the playful look on the second. You nailed the color challenge!

All your cards deserve a perfect 10 score. They are beautifully created.

Beautiful creations, Kary! Your first card is lovely with the strips of striped paper is a great combination. And the whale/sea patterned paper on your second card looks fabulous especially with your wave punched border.

Doesn't your Very Labels 1 make a great border for your ship image for your third card, and the twine through the anchor is a great touch.

And last, but not least, I like the way you inked around your sentiment to help it stand out from the label that you mounted on. GREAT job on all of these amazing cards!
