The first thing I found was this Urban Pipeline shirt in my husband's closet...
I've always loved the colors of this shirt and the image on the back. Here is what I came up with...
I don't know, I kinda like it. I think it would be great for a trendy young dad, but it definitely doesn't look like something we would give my Father in Law. So I went back into the closet and started searching. Then I came across this apt. 9 tie...
Now this looks like something my Father in Law might wear so I decided to try again.
I stamped the stripes and used my white gel pen to mimic the pattern on the tie. Then I picked out two stars that had similar patterns.
I was hoping to hang out on the deck today, but it's so windy, I think I'd be blown away! Oh well, more crafting time!
Have a great day!

Wow, Anika. These are spot on renditions from those shirts. Awesome!
Well two great interpretations of the challenge - I especially like the first orangy one. Very clever.
You've made some fabulous cards lately Anika - I should have commented on them all but haven't managed it - sorry.
Anika those are PERFECT takes on that shirt and tie.Awesome cards!
This is COOL Anika! I really love the way you've interpreted these designs into your cards! Masculine cards can be a *real* challenge - but these are both completely fabulous!!
Great projects Anika! I love the idea using the tie! What a fun card!
You did a fabulous job on the first card I love it! The second card is a perfect companion for that tie.
I am still trying to figure out how you stamped the image on the first card. I am guessing it took some masking.
Anika, your cards are wonderful! Love them both and isn't that challenge the best?!
Those are both great cards, my favorite is the one based on the tie. You did such a good job matching that tie! Great job
