Happy Wednesday.....and it's Borderline Buddies Day!

 
This week it was Leanna's turn to challenge me...and her challenge was to come up with either a Father's Day idea or a masculine card....hah!  Easy for me! 
 
Most people have a hard time creating for the guys...but not me...usually...so it wasn't much of a challenge....not to mention my swap group for this month is the same...a masculine card...so if you are a part of my monthly swap group...you might not want to look any further....
 
 
okay....warning you swappers...this will be a spoiler....
 
last chance....
 
Here it is...I am loving this idea...it is a CASE from a card I saw online, but I put a bit of a spin on things to change it up a bit. 
 
The stamp sets I used are The Open Sea and Yippee Skippee. 
 
 
I stamped the ship on Whisper White and then used the Coastal Cabana Blendability Markers to color the ocean. I used the Chocolate Chip Stampin' Markers to color the bottom of the ship and an aqua painter with Soft Sky for the background. I also used the grey and Cherry Cobbler to color the chip.  The anchor was stamped with Black Staz On on Grey CS and fussy cut out. 

 
I used two punches to punch out the port hole and also the ship and used Stampin' Dimensionals on the back of them and added a bit of bling using our Basic Rhinestones...even men need bling, right?

 
This photo shows the dimension of the port hole. 

 
The colors CS were Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight and Early Expresso.  I got this color combination by using my Color Coach (a girl's best friend for the color challenged).
 
The background was run through my Texture Boutique and the Woodgrain embossing folder.
 
I stamped the saying on Whisper White and just cut it into a flag shape with my scissors.
 
So...that's my challenge this week.
 
Now hop on over to Leanna's blog to see what she has come up for you....
 
 
Have a great stampin' day!
