I'm not sure if I'm right on with the colours, but it's what I came up!
I put 2 nestie dies together and cut out the striped dp, which left a hole and also a piece smaller than the main opening. I printed the ship on a transparency and attached it to the striped piece. I cut another piece of dp, placed the oval in position and lined up the larger striped piece over top of the oval. Marked it and attached it in place. Attached the larger striped dp to the plain dp with the oval and voila!
Attached golder border stickers around the edge and then attached the sentiment. As I'm writing this, I remembered that I had wanted to put some distress inks on the beige dp (forgot!) and I also forgot to erase the pencil marker lines! Nothing to be done now as I have so much adhesive on this, it will never come apart!!! tfl and huge thanks to all the Teapotters who make a card for Sol! Will eventually get by to comment!

Perfect card! Love the way the ship looks and the colors are perfect. I was wondering what you would come up with for this one since I know you have so many manly images. Well done and I know he will totally love this one. Hugz!!!

Super looking, masculine card. Love your idea of doing the silhouetted image on a transparency...with the bg stripes it makes for a GREAT looking card. Sol will love it.

This is for sure a manly card!!! Love the sailing ship in silhouette!!! And I LOVE those border stickers!!! I kept looking at them and thinking, how did she do that, then, how do they work? They look fantastic on there! Wonderful card for Sol!!!
