Father's Day Frenzy

It's a girl's day and we are all making Father's Day cards!  I found a Man Up! challenge at Stampin' Royalty and paired it with the challenges at colourQ and Freshly Made Sketches.
I am just in LOVE with this color palette!  I thought it made the perfect masculine card.
I am STILL waiting on my Whisper White cardstock to get here, so I had to use Shimmer White instead. It is perfect for this type of a background, which I spritzed with water and then used my Aqua Painter to add drops of reinkers. I dried it with my heat tool and then added the stamps from Clockworks and my sentiment.  The banners are embossed and sponged with ink. I wasn't too sure about the Baker's Twine at the side. A bow looked too feminine but the knot was too small. I opted for this, which I thought looked kind of like spokes!
