For my card, I used an awesome new set called "The Waves on the Sea".



Click on the photo for a better view!


To create my card, I stamped the ship image with Vintage Sepia on "Wish" designer paper, first stamping it "off" on scrap paper.  Then I stamped the verse with Onyx Black Ink slightly over the image.  I love the effect this gives and it's such a quick and simple technique!  I added a plaid mat behind it and matted both with black cardstock.  The card base is black with a mat using Hermit Cardstock by Coredinations.  I embossed the mat with an embossing folder and ran the Amaretto and Mocha Mama Ink Pad over it a little.  I finished it off with a couple of brads, a button and some twine.

Here is a picture of the set I used which I think is perfect for masculine cards and would be great for Father's Day!




Card recipe:

Paper: Little Black Dress (Basic Grey), Wish - Serendipity (The Paper Loft)
Ink: Onyx Black, Vintage Sepia (VersaFine), Amaretto, Mocha Mama (Powder Puffs)
Accessories: Paper Lace II Embossing Folder (Cuttlebug), button, twine, brads, Bow-Easy


Now, from here you will hop to Cathy's fabulous blog where you're in for a real treat!  Have fun hopping!

I'm submitting this to the Basic Grey Challenge #92 - Masculine. (Little Black Dress)

Blessings!

Kathy
