HSS Theme Challenge #70 and SSS-122 sketch challenge

It's a little early, and like the last card, not a lot of Stampin' Up! stuff, but my hubby's not a "tie" kind of guy, so this year's class card wasn't right for him... here's HIS kind of card :)


The base and layers are Marina Mist, Basic Black and Whisper White CS. The sentiment and DAD on the tag are Marina Mist ink on the Best Dad Ever stamp set. I used my 1/2" circle punch to punch the circles on the main image, and the flat stamp and charcoal distressing ink from my SU! Distressing Kit, to give a faux metal effect to the WW CS.

The Hand Stamped Sentiments theme was Masculine cards, and I think this fits the bill perfectly! The Sweet Stop sketch is:
