HERE'S MY CARD: 

Today I've created a masculine card for Father's Day, but this design could just as easily be used as a gesture of appreciation for a husband or male friend.  My design features images from the Adventurous Sky stamp set which is fast becoming one of my favourite sets from Stampin'  Up!s Annual Catalogue. 

I decided to follow the sketch by using circles for my card design and began by adding graduated layers of cardstock and paper to the card front.  Here are  the measurements: 

• 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" piece of Copper Clay cardstock, 
• 5 1/4 x 4" piece of Misty Moonlight
• 5 1/8" x 3 7/8" piece of designer series paper featuring bi-planes
• 5" x 3 3/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock, embossed with a hatched design from the Online Exclusives called Basics 3-D Embossing Folder.  I die cut 3 circles using a set of nested circles and added foam tape to the backside before positioning it over the designer series paper.

I stamped off one of the cloud images from the Adventurous Sky stamp set onto the circle I'd cut from the Whisper White layer.  I then stamped the sentiment "You Always Life Me Up" over top of the cloud in Misty Moonlight ink and popped on a few copper coloured sequins.

For the inside of the card I stamped images of the bi-plane and riveting in Misty Moonlight ink and the sentiment in Copper Clay ink.  The blue layer is a piece of 5 1/4" x 4" designer series paper from the Take to the Sky designer paper.
