Masculine Birthday card for PTI Make it Monday #200!

Wow Papertrey Ink has 200 Make it Monday episodes! These are some of my favorite challenges - I always learn something new! This week's technique is Layering Cover Plate Die Cuts.  How did I not think of this! I only have one PTI cover plate (gasp! I know! I must get more) but I love it! Today I made a masculine birthday card layering smoky shadow and tropical teal.

I didn't want to take away from the fab background, so I used vellum for my sentiment.

Here's a detail pic:
