MIM #74, MFW, Crafty Month

This is a birthday card for a special young man who is turning 25 next month. 
It seems to fit three challenges - soooo, YAY! 


Make It Monday #74 - Stamp on Texture
 See Heather Nichols video for this great technique

I chose the colors in this inspiration photo and a little bit of the diagonal lines design :^)
Use something at least one year old:  
This striped patterned paper ( purchased in 2009)
Use something new:
Peaches & Creme twisted yarn and Studio Calico's Cardstock Stickers
