Teenage Boy Birthday Card

Hi friends!

Just popping in to share a quick card I made for a friend. The recipient is a teenage boy so I knew that flowers, buttons, sequins--yeah, that wasn't going to cut it. So, I came up with a very simple card. I'm entering the card at the Whimsy Stamps Challenge blog that is having a "masculine card" challenge at the moment. Here's my card:
I used some pattern paper from DCWV. I love the blue and brown combo and the guitar--what teenager doesn't like that?! I used my glitter pen quite a bit, though, to add some extra "umph" to the paper. I added glitter on some of the diagonal lines and also to the bottom portion of the guitars. I added used some vintage photo distress ink to very lightly distress the corner of the paper. Then, a simple, embossed "happy birthday" sentiment on a banner and the card was done. Very simple--but you just don't want to overdo it when it comes to a teen boy anyway! :)

Have a wonderful weekend!

    I love this card. It is such a perfect male card. May I post a link to your card on my Manly Monday blog post? It's a post where I showcase masculine cards for my readers. LMK by responding to this comment so I can easily find this post.
    Thanks
