Happy Monday! It’s time for another Paper Therapy weekly challenge! This week the challenge is to make a card for either a man or a boy. Please consider playing along with us this week! Take a few minutes to check out what the rest of the Paper Therapy Design Team made – links to their blogs are in the sidebar.

I’ve been keeping the Operation Write Home special Valentine mission in the back of my mind lately, so I decided to make a card that would work for that. I’ve had this stamp set from Gina K Designs for a while now and decided it was definitely time to put it to use.  I used one of Jeanne Streiff’s cards as inspiration for what to do with the owl panel, and the layout comes from last week’s OWH Stars & Stamps Sketch Challenge.  I used a Nestabilities die large enough to frame the owls to cut a circle from an index card, and used both the card and the cutout as masks for sponging the moon and the sky. The image is colored with Copic markers.

When my 11-year-old son saw this card, he paused, thinking about the sentiment.  Then he said, “That’s like the worst joke ever!”  I guess he isn’t as big a fan of puns as I am.
