I got inspired by this Bagpack for today's inspiration challenge. I really wanted to play with my new Distress Stains and wanted to see if I could create a distressed look for polka dots. After I created the polka dots, I thought it seemed more masculine, so I created an early Father's Day card. I had a lot of fun playing with the stains.

Oh fun! I love the look you achieved here! I can definately see the backpacks in your card and how fun you managed to get a masculine card out of a very girly site! What a great card this will be for Father's Day! Whoo Hoo! Fathers Day card complete! Its so awesome!

What a great masculine card. I love the "artisitic effect" you got using the distress stains. The back bag inspiration is still VERY recognizable, but with a "twist" for your card. The label and greeting go so well with your bg...and the ribbon treatment is terrific.
