Masculine Card

So I needed a masculine birthday for my father-in-law last week.  I headed to the Countryside stamp set knowing that it would be the set to use.  You can find it on page 100 of the 2011-2012 IB&C. 

I used some first edition dsp, artichoke, naturals cardstocks along with some watercolor paper.  The greeting comes from the stamp set On Your Birthday (page 163).  I used a square punch to make the banner end--so easy when you do it that way.  A little watercoloring, sponging, and tearing of cs along the way added the textured look I was looking for.  Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy your day!
