You Are a Classic Birthday Card

My favorite brother-in-law turns 60 today, so I decided to share this card today because he's a classy classic wonderful man, who loves classic rock, which is the theme of his birthday card. I can't share that card yet since he hasn't received it yet. 

This card uses some new Stampendous stamps, namely Classic Car Rubber Stamp (P348), 6x6 Cling Posted Script Rubber Stamp (6CR021), and the Cling Ledger Script Rubber Stamp Set (R319). I'm especially partial to the 6x6 stamp because (a) 6x6 stamps make quick and easy backgrounds and (b) because I love the combination of the vintage script and imagery. I decided to use a monochromatic sepia tone color scheme, which works-ish.
