Birthday Card for a Guy

I needed a birthday card for a teenage boy & ended up with a 1 layer card, which never happens when I try to do that!  I wanted to play along with the PTI MIM ink pad designs challenge.  Again, what I had in mind just wasn't working, but as I played on my scratch paper this design took shape.  I really like it & think I will make some more with different colors & maybe little flowers for a girl.  The PTI stamps are Boutique Borders Birthday & Framed Out #1.  
The sentiment & stars are stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black. The PTI ink cubes are Classic Kraft, Berry sorbet & Aqua Mist.  I'm also entering at Simon Says Monday Challenge.  I'd love to hear what you think.

    Once again, Greta, your creativity amazes and delights! One-layer card - check; perfect guy colours and images - check; cool layout - check; fabulous sentiment - check. It all adds up to an outstanding card for a teenage boy. He will love it!! Your idea for a girl version: YES! LOVE this! Hope you have some crafty time this weekend! I'm in 'snowfall warning' land once again...Hugs,

    Super design and so very versatile ~ either gender, any colors & all ages. Now you make me want to add cubes to my wish list! The stars finish it off nicely ~ great job!
