This one is bugging me!

OK here's the card:





My problem is - a friend asked me to make some guy birthday cards for her grandsons (19 & 28).  The ones I've made so far haven't suited her for one reason or another.  Yet I'm not getting any personal details about the young men to go with a theme, i.e. golfing, fishing, sports, etc. 
I found this stamped image and the paper strips in the clutter on my table.  But I'm thinking it's too juvenile.  Guess I'll enter it in the challenges below and then go back to the crafting table.

    I love these flags! I know what you mean, making cards for boys is so tricky for me sometimes, but this one looks great! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Paper Playtime!

    Love the embossing of the background! You know, some people can be a little too fussy!

    I think this is adorable. Sorry you are having such a hard time with the cards. Maybe ask her for some more info...like fav colors, hobbies, etc. That might help. Thanks for joining us at Digi Darla this week. Good Luck!
