I can't think of a better stamp set to invest in if you're looking for wonderful masculine images!  Countryside stamp set has so much to offer!  The images look great simply stamped as a sketch, or have fun watercoloring all the detail.  I began with Whisper White card stock then added Marina Mist card stock and a thin strip of Cherry Cobbler card stock that's been run through the Big Shot using the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  This is also a "must have" tool for masculine card making!  A layer of Soft Suede card stock with three Gold Brads backs the main image which is stamped on Whisper White card stock with Early Espresso ink and also backed with an Early Espresso card stock border.  Main image is popped up with Dimensionals.

I chose my color scheme from the fabulous piece of striped designer paper in this packet — Sahara Sand, Pumpkin Pie and Tempting Turquoise.  The orange print is the reverse side of the striped paper, making it really easy to coordinate!  I used the same colors in 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbons.  The sentiment doubles for the focal point of the card and is from Enjoy Every Moment stamp set.  I picked up the star image from Wanted stamp set.  The coordinating button is from Sherbet Designer Buttons pack.  "Every moment" is stamped and punched out with the Scallop Oval Punch.  Don't forget to order Mini Glue Dots to make adhering your buttons a snap, and some Linen Thread for the centers.
