DSC #102 Guys Only

Welcome to another DT project for Digitally Sweet Challenges! Our theme this week is GUYS ONLY and we had some wonderful images to choose from given graciously for this week's sponsor Stitchy Bear Stamps. I made a masculine birthday card:

I printed out the lighthouse beach digital stamp and one of the digital papers by Stitchy Bear and added to back card  base. I coloured the digi stamp with my watercolour pencils and a water brush. I then used a die for the sides and corners in black and buff cardstock. This is the first time I've used this Spellbinders Marvelous Squares die too! I've had it in my stash waaaaay too long LOL. The sentiment is hand stamped and I added a dark beige ribbon that matched the buff card. I do make simpler style cards and I really wanted simple with this one as the image is so great. I wanted it to be the focus of the card. Hope you like it!
