It's a MALE THING over at Inspired by Stamping.

A few days ago I got my HAPPY MAIL with my new order from

Inspired by Stamping.

They had a release recently of their new stamp sets and were Male Orientated.

I was particularly keen to purchase one stamp set in particular - Guitars

You see my husband is a Guitar freak and had his old one he used to
play in a band with (in his youth) restored. 

He also loves to get it out and practice until his fingers get sore lol

As it is his birthday later in the week this was a 

golden opportunity for me to make him a birthday card he will really love

and of course I can enter it in the

which happens to be to
Create a Masculine Card Layout or project.

I certainly enjoyed make this card

I have used blue and orange card stock. Stamped the background with a 

Kaisercraft grunge stamp and also the stamps from the IBS Guitars.

I cut several circles in different sizes - the 2 for the back of the guitar 

and the others for fill.

Also cut out the pick stamps and added to the circles.

The guitar is popped and I added glossy accents and stickles.

 Added another pick to go with the guitar.

The sentiment was stamped from the Guitars stamp 

and sentiment is from Masculine Tags.

So there you have my husbands birthday card. 

I am sure he will be thrilled with it.
