what a lovely design fold for your male card, well done, thank you for joining our challenge at Crafty Catz, Tilly

Lisa said...

The concertina structure gives this such strong presence, and the grunge palette works beautifully across the shifting panels. The layered kraft and cream framing adds just enough contrast to keep each section defined without losing the cohesive flow. A really effective masculine design with great movement and balance.
