Masculine Theme for Try Stampin' on Tuesday #160

As a golfer I have lots of golfing friends who will receive birthday cards from me.  I was inspired to make this card by the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch #160--although I did change the orientation of it to fit the golf green.  I usually prefer to use acrylic stamps rather than digital stamps but this golf green digital image by Digi Darla seemed to fit the space well and coordinate with the turf and golf ball papers too.

Close to My Heart products used:
    Banner Wishes birthday stamp
    Outdoor Denim CS
    Tee Time golf ball stamp (retired)

Other products used:
    Golf Green image by Digi Darla (recently closed their business)
    Turf paper by Frances Meyer
    Golf ball paper by Frances Meyer

Here is the Try Stampin' on Tuesday sketch that inspired me:

Their challenge closes at midnight on Monday, April 1 (ET).
