Allsorts Challenge # 831

 Time for a new Allsorts challenge and this time the theme, chosen by Donna, is **Birthdays** or of course the usual *Anything Goes* option.  I would think that birthday cards are the ones we make the most so why not share some of your makes to be in the running for the prizes this time.  Full details on the Allsorts blog post as usual.

For my Design Team card this time I've chosen to make a masculine card - often said to be the most difficult to make.  I used a downloaded image and combined it with a selection of toning papers from my stash and a simple sentiment.  It's just occurred to me that the camera might need some explanation for a younger recipient who has probably only encountered photos being taken using a mobile phone 🤣🤣

Papers - Toning selection from my stash, trimmed to fit a 5" x 7" card

  1. Fab vintage style masculine card Val with that lovely retro LotV image .. you’re right the camera certainly looks antique now, but the whole card looks like a Victorian sepia snapshot - lovely! xx
