Masculine Congratulations Card with Tuesday Morning Sketch #595

 My nephew just got hired for his dream job.  He has quite a dry sense of humor so I thought I would try to honor him with my own sense of funny with this card.  

This card is based on this week's Tuesday Morning Sketch #595.  I rotated the card ninety degrees and replaced the background medallions with patterned paper featuring rocks.  The small horizontal paper strip was replaced with a bent arrow image to highlight the "You Rock" sentiment.  

Here is the Tuesday Morning Sketch that inspired (however loosely) my card layout:
