My lovely Easter break is coming to an end – we have had a great weekend seeing friends and family and I have even managed to squeeze in a little crafting time (of course!).

The challenge over at Time Out this week is to create a birthday card with the optional twist of making a masculine card. Obviously this led to instant mental block but after looking through my stash I picked out the All Squared Up stamp set from Avery Elle – a fab set for creating backgrounds and geometric features.

The set up was pretty simple, I just stamped the square border a couple of times in Memento Tuxedo Black ink then used the Turquoise set from Spectrum Noir to shade the image. I think the graphic nature of the image is ideal for a masculine card.
