I’m using Clearly Sentimental About Success for my card. The buttons are the coconut shell buttons and I thought perfect for a masculine card. And I think this one would be great for a young man going off to college or starting out on a career, don’t you? I’m also use an Antique Leaf Brad in the upper right corner for balance. The sentiment was stamped on a Die-namics Clearly Sentimental Label die cut. I created a little scene at the bottom with my Die-namics Skyline Border, Die-namics Solid Skyline, and my Die-namics Star Border. MFT card stock use is Whip Cream and Hot Fudge.

Here’s the inside with another sentiment from the set.
