Hello everyone. It's time for a new theme at
Allsorts challenge and
Donna's turn to host. For her theme she selected "Birthdays" and of course we have the "Anything Goes" option as always. There
are 2 prizes for this challenge of 2 stamp sets each and you have two weeks to
join us.
As I have more masculine than feminine birthdays coming up later this year I
decided to make a masculine birthday card using an old PSX stamp I purchased
from eBay many years ago. I think it was part of a mixed lot I purchased as
this is my first time using it.
It is PSX K2777, as with all PSX stamps now only available through second hand
markets such as eBay or Etsy. I used Distress inks for inking and coloring
along with Faber Castell Polychromos pencils for the smaller parts such as the
flowers, stones and ramp.
The background was embossed using Spellbinders 3D embossing folder
Cast Away and the sentiment is part of
the Penny Black set Let's Play. I like
the simple font for male cards.

Beautiful masculine card Ellie, I love the rope and twine touches with the nautical image xx
Remember PSX stamps well, probably have one or two still. Such a peaceful scene and perfect masculine card.
