Today was a really bad day. I didn't sleep well last night and felt pretty miserable because of it. On days like this, I most look forward to going home and putting on my favorite jammies (pictured at right).That leads me to this week's blogger's challenge. We were supposed to find inspiration for a card from something in our non-stamping lives. I decided to be inspired by my jammies.
To make the main stamped panel, I started with a piece of glossy white card stock and brayered cool caribbean classic ink over the entire piece. Once this dried, I stamped the circles with VersaMark and then embossed with clear embossing powder. Finally, I brayered over the entire panel with night of navy classic ink. It came out a little more speckled than I would have liked because the embossing powder kept sticking. I probably didn't let the cool caribbean ink dry completely.I hope you enjoyed my entry this week. Don't forget to check out the other Blogger's challenge entries!

It is working now, Stefanie! Love the look of your card compared with the inspiration piece! Great job!
Those make for some great baby TU cards. The stray flecks give your card lots of dimension.
I'm with you...the first thing I do when I get home from work is to change into my jammies!
Your card is a great reflection of your inspiration piece. Fabulous colors and design. Very nicely done.
Stef: I think that the card is awesome, speckles and all. It adds character to the card. Those jammies do look pretty comfy although you won't find me in long sleeve anything just yet.
