Here is my card for the challenge this week!




I used the new Home of the Free Set from the June Release for the eagle image and The Waves on the Sea from May's Release for the sentiment.  Both these set are perfect for masculine cards.  I colored the eagle with pencils trying to match the colors on the designer papers.  Masculine card are tough, I always feel like they're missing something!

Card recipe:

Stamps: Home of the Free, The Waves on the Sea (Our Daily Bread Designs)
Paper: Neutrals Cardstock, The Guy Stack (DCWV)
Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine)
Accessories: Labels 8 (Spellbinders), brads, button, floss, trim, sanding block, mineral spirits, Prismacolor Pencils: Henna, Chocolate, Yellow Ochre, White, Cobalt Turquoise

Here are pictures of the set I used:
