I have a new stamp set that is perfect for your Masculine cards — it's called Moon Lake. The images are great — this goose/duck/loon (yup, I'm a real nature girl), a row boat by a tree and a bird on a branch (don't ask me what kind of bird). The words in the set are nice too. Check on this card.
The base of the card is Island Indigo with a strip of Adventures Bound DSP Stack — great prints in this paper stack. I stamped the goose with Stazon and used Aqua Painters and stamp pad to color the image. I mounted the stamped images on Basic Black cardstock to make them pop a bit and of course used dimensionals to adhere the layers to the card base. This card is quick to make but is very stunning.
