2nd Guest DT for Mad For Markers

This is my 2nd guest spot on the DT for Mad For Markers. It's been a lot of fun ladies and thanks for asking me!!
The challenge for all this month is to use YR, RV and BG. (Those are Copic families for my Prisma ladies). I knew I wanted to use a Kenny K image I was making for my son's 20th (my baby is 20!!!) birthday. So how do you do a guy's card with pink?? Easy.. put it on the guitar ; )
Here's a close up:
And the side shot so you can see his popped up arm:
I don't have a Happy Birthday sentiment stamp very appropriate for a man. So I decided to do more of a ransom style sentiment and as I was laying it out I realized they really look like little Scrabble tiles. I love to play Scrabble and used to force the kids to play with me.. lol!  Those other funky little shapes are guitar picks.
Here's the colors I used for my card:
I hope you will pop over and join the challenge!! You have the rest of the month ; )

Oh, and the ticket is on the Freebie page blank. If you want the "You Rock" you can grab it right here:
Thanks for looking!
