The theme for the Allsorts Challenge this week was chosen by Mervi and she has chosen 'Vintage'. Interpret the theme in any way you like or you can always choose the Anything Goes option.
Penny-farthing bicycles were popular in the 1870s and 1880s, so I guess that makes them pretty vintage. 😉 I used a Memory Box 'Vintage Bicycle' die and layered the die cut on a Memory Box 'Stitched Square Layers' die cut. The patterned paper is from Anna Marie Designs. A few tiny black pearls finished off my card.
Prizes this month are from our generous sponsors Stamp Addicts, Oakwood, Highlight Crafts, Ruth Hamilton Dedsign, AALL and Create and Craft Stash.
You can see all the fabulous creations the Allsorts DT have made HERE.
I am joining in the following challenges:
The penny farthing was a great choice for your vintage card - like the choice of monochrome theme as well
ReplyDeleteI'd call them Vintage Liz and just right for the theme, one of the Farmers who used to live up the drove from us collected them and every now and then would be seen out on one in the village.

Beautiful CAS card! And I like the simple way of making this into a vintage card! Enjoy the weekend!
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a vintage cycle Liz and looks great with the two different papers and added black pearls. I have this MB die but haven't used if for ages, so you've reminded me to give it some love. x
ReplyDeleteBrilliant card! The background papers and colours work beautifully together Liz.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great vintage image and I wasn't even aware of what they were called until I read your post. Fun card, perfect for the challenge.
ReplyDeletePennies in the UK used to be very big. Four farthings were equal to one penny and farthings were much smaller. That’s how the bicycles got their name. xx
DeleteWhat a great take on the vintage theme - I always think fashion lol! This is a great layout too.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely take on the vintage theme Liz, the black and white look fantastic xx
