Here I am late again to the TeaPotter Swap! But I did have fun with your theme, Denise. I just had to ponder the combinations to Tic-Tac-Toe. It might not be easy to see, but I selected the bottom horizontal three. Masculine-Houndstooth-Window.
It's been awhile since I've used this gorgeous window. It reminds me of a European seaside holiday! And I placed one of Oregon's 11 lighthouses right out the window. The Stampin Up 'Coast to Coast' has 4 beautiful lighthouses with the state identified within the scene.
My second choice in the Tic-Tac was houndstooth. It took quite awhile to decide how to use the pattern. In the end, I used a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder. It does not show on the directional paper from BG's 'Adrift', but you can feel those 'tooth'!
The third prompt was masculine. I did look up the definition and read words like strength and aggressiveness. Well, a lighthouse certainly qualifies in my book!
Thank you, Denise for a fun prompt. Can't wait to stroll the gallery and to see who will receive this card!

Your window definitely has that European vibe - I've not been to the seaside but it's the same facade as a lot of the hotels I stayed in years ago all over Europe. Fun counterpoint with the bg paper which to me has an abstract watery feel about it to tie in the the whole seaside / lighthouse theme.

That window is fabulous...and works really well for your lighthouse...I'm a sucker for them! The bg paper is wonderful and of course it's Basic Grey! I'm sure your tickle person will be pleased.
