Papertrey Ink - May 2011 Release Projects (Part 2)

Hi! I'm back with the rest of my Papertrey Ink May Release projects. Today I bring you a selection of boy/masculine cards....First up, a patriotic card using Est. 1776 by Tiffany Pastor. Stamped the card base to mimic the American flag (in Chai Vintage Touch ink) and then grouped all the sentiments in Enchanted Evening and Pure Poppy inks.Finished it off with a ribbon/button flag embellishment.How about a sweet baby card?! Using Whale Wishes by Dawn McVey. I completely covered the Fine Linen card base with this adorable whale image.Used the Rock & Roll technique when I inked up the whale, using two different blues, and topped him off with some tiny hearts.How about some Road Trip stamps and pattern paper by Heather Nichols?! I combined the two to create a unique pattern paper which I placed at the base of the card front.I then pulled out Boy Basics: Truckin' It and did some masking when stamping this map. Started by stamping the solid map in Chai Vintage Touch. Stamped the sentiment and truck in Dark Chocolate, colored with markers and then placed a mask over the truck. Finished it off by stamping the map overlay in Dark Chocolate and peeled off the mask. Last, but not least, Tag-its #4 by Heather Nichols. I used the grad cap along with the whale from Whale Wishes.Create a few ocean waves by masking and inking with the Simple Circles Border Die.

So there you have it, I hope you've enjoyed the goodies from yet another fabulous release! I'd love to hear what you all are looking forward to receiving the most from this months release! Can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks for stopping by!

    Love them all! The masking with the circles border die is simply amazing!! Just one question: what ink did you use in the American flag card? Is it the Palette beige one? I love how it looks on white!

    Love all of the cards Maile,they have a pretty softness to them. But I must say I am particularly smitten with the little whale graduate!
