CIU Challenge 332 … Masculine

A new Cut it Up Challenge has started. You can find the challenge HERE.

For these challenges, a die-cut is anything made with a manual or an electronic die-cutting machine. (Spellbinders, Cricut, MFT dies, Silhouette, etc.). Store bought die-cuts are also acceptable. Please note that handheld punches and/or paper-piecing DOES NOT count as a die-cut.

Truth be told, the focal point is from another card I made years ago and just never used because I was never really happy with it. I tore it apart and put the image away to be used another time. Promptly forgetting about it until I as going through some stuff and found it. 

I thought it would be perfect for this masculine challenge so I added a bit of white accents to the swim tube and then popped it up on foam for dimension. 

I think the sentiments are perfect and I like this card so much better!
