The Guiding Light and Antique map sets from Flourishes are my go-to stamp sets for classy, masculine cards. My father is both classy, and masculine, so it's a great match! The background is aged using Distress Inks, the ship is colored using copic markers, and the "Happy Birthday" sentiment plaque is edged in a blue glitter Gel pen.
So.... one card down, 2 to go!
