Happy Birthday

 Morning and I needed a masculine birthday card with no ideas then remembered this stamp set from AALL&Create.First of all I cut a piece of cardstock and die-cut(from creative dies)the apertures,then on another smaller piece I drew round the apertures with a fine liner pen  and stamped the images in the circles -sounds simple but came to this idea after ripping up two goes! I stamped the music score doodled round the borders and the stamped sentiment was a craft mag freebie, the put them both together with 3D foam pads.
