Stars & Stripes Birthday

This is a 3 3/4"x9" card made from dark gray cardstock. I cut a piece of striped cardstock 1/4" smaller and adhered it to the card base. I then cut a strip of dark gray cardstock at 8 3/4"x2" and a piece of white cardstock at 8 3/4"x1 3/4" and adhered them together and then to the card base. My sentiment is stamped in london fog ink by Tsukineko using stamps by Fiskars. They are actually two different stamps that I decided to use together for a fun effect. The star is cut from Cricut Essentials, which is one of the pre-loaded cartridges on the new Cricut Expression 2. I used pop-dots to adhere the star to the card. Nice and simple, and I think it works as a masculine birthday card (which is always a good thing to have on hand). I made this card for the following challenges:
