I love the combo (and the owl comforter inspiration is super cute as well!). I just so happen to need a masculine birthday card and thought these colors were great. As I got started, I decided to turn it into a tag instead of a full card, so here it is:
I took the birthday spinner from SU!'s Take a Spin set and colored it with markers then stamped it. I didn't have a gray marker so I had used black, but I didn't like the dark color mixed in with the grean and teal, so I went over it all with a VersaMarker and embossed it with some silver powder... much better! The spinner itself was a bronze color so while I had the silver embossing powder out, I coated the hardware so it matched the gameboard. The base, that the twine is wrapped around, is a coaster that I covered with some black fabric tape. I wanted it to have that game board feel. :)
On the back, I kept it simple. I used another SU! stamp and the same markers as I had on the front. Pretty straightforward.
Here's a closer pic of the front:
