My sons 13th birthday is on Easter, and I need some ideas for a card. He's into snowboarding, Guitar Hero, rock music, but I can't figure what to make! He loves black, I know I have to use that color, which I don't normally use, so I'm pretty stumped! Help!
How about stamping in white craft on a black BG? At 13, my guys were into the whole skull-and-crossbones/rock music thing so you could look to your halloween stamps for a skull and then something musical, like notes or a guitar stamp if you have one.

When I am making a specific card, and I don't have the right stamp, I often will use designer paper with the theme that I want as a portion of the card front, together with coordinating colors. HTH! Good Luck.
I LOVE that stamp! It would be perfect as my son loves Pizza, I should've thought about this a while ago, and ordered a stamp like it.
BUT, since I don't have time to get it, I may have to do the guitar thing. I was thinking about getting some of those rock star papers they have in AC Moore, and maybe carve my own simple guitar stamp.
Thanks for the tips everyone I'll post my card when I get it done!

I was going to suggest the Rockstar papers - definitely would have something you could use in there!
On the Rocker theme - You could print up a "set list" of his favourite songs ATM as a kind of background paper if you can't find the paper you like and grunge it up a bit (maybe even leave a foot impression on it) to make it a bit more authentic.
