Masculine Monday

 Today on Stylin' Stampin' INKSpiration we are featuring Masculine cards for Father's day.  Yep!  It's coming up in just a few weeks.  This is also the second installment in my collection of Swirly Bird cards.  Since it's also Memorial Day, I went with a  Red, White, and Blue color combination.  

This is the first time using the new In-Color Dapper Denim and I think I'm in love.  It's not quite navy blue, not royal blue, but definitely somewhere in between.  I used it for the base of my card and also the bottom of the boat. For the "water", I die cut the waves from Vellum, Pool Party, and Marina Mist card stocks.  I layered them together and then had a happy mistake.  The glue seeped out around the edges, so I covered it with Dazzling Diamonds glitter. The glitter gives the water a nice shimmer.

The sentiment is from the Greatest Greetings stamp set and the Real Red patterned paper is from the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack.  You'll find the complete list of supplies at the end of this post.  The Swirly Bird stamp set and coordinating Big Shot dies will be available for ordering on June 1st.

Thanks for stopping by!
