Hi Everyone,
For some odd reason I quite enjoy making male cards at the moment 
… so here’s another one – this time around a Birthday Card.
I think it must be the papers; I’ve always favored blue and brown for male cards, so the vintage inspired “Blue Awning” papers from K &Company are right up my alley. 
I especially like this sheet – think it goes perfectly with ocean-navy cards!
