Krafty Chicks challenge #718 - ATG

Good morning friends; it's Thursday so that means it's time for a new challenge over at Krafty Chicks challenge.  As it's a 5 week month our theme this week is Anything Goes, so you can create whatever you like.  

It was my brother-in-law's birthday last week so needed a masculine card for my boys to give him.  I went graphic and bold for my card.  I hope you like it.

Here is my card:

A closer look at the stamping:

I decorated the inside:

Once I had decided on my products, I think this was one of the fastest cards I have ever made!!  I began by stamping the background in black ink onto a white card panel.  It is a small background stamp so I turned it sideways and stamped it twice to make a complete background for my panel.  I cut the width of my panel slightly smaller so that I could add a strip of light green card down the left hand side and the whole panel was added to the card base with double sided tape.  I used 3 separate stamp sets to create my sentiment but as they were all the same font they look like they were meant to be together.  I stamped the sentiment in black ink and cut it with a stitched die and matted it onto a piece of the light green card.  This was added onto the card with foam squares.  I found some enamel dots (trying to use up some older stuff) in almost the exact same colour green so added a few around the sentiment.  For the inside I cut a white panel and stamped the background stamp at the bottom and added a strip of green card to add a decorative edge.  I stamped the sentiment in the centre of the panel in black ink.  I added the panel to the card base with double sided tape.  A really simple card but quite striking and although not my usual colour scheme I think it works.  

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
