Most of the men (and boys) I send to like their cards on the simple side so this is one layer, just stamps, ink and a couple of markers. I masked the shirt and randomly stamped numbers to make a background.
I treated myself to the t-shirt set in Black Friday sales as I thought it would be versatile (there are feminine motifs to stamp on the shirt as well as masculine designs). It has the bonus of being a really easy shape to cut out with scissors - I cut a mask for it here as I was aiming for a one layer card but cutting it out as an element to pop up would be fun, too.

Very versatile stamp purchase indeed! I'm imagining all the fun cards that could be made with this tee-shirt image and I love buying stamps that can easily be fussy-cut! I like the stamped numbers and sponged edges for your background, and that single rounded corner is a great touch.

That is a great stamp and I love the bg you created with the numbers. Great teen card. I may need to get that set as the GS have entered that phase. Great card. Fav’d.
