Boys Football Card

Finally for the cards I made in March is one for my nephew who loves football:

I used a 6x6" square card and used an Elzybells rubber stamp for the footballer, which I coloured in with Copics. I matted the image onto red and black pearlised paper which I embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I used a Martha Stewart rings border punch to cut a decorative strip for the middle of the card, which I wrapped striped ribbon around. I used a football sheet of 12x12" paper (cut to size!) for the background but this is quite old so I don't know who made it! I then finished the card with an "8" candle cut with a Quickutz Die, corners cut with an EK Success punch and a Craftwork Cards "Oh my Words" Sentiment.

Boys Birthday Card..

I was forced into cardmaking a few days ago (thank goodness!) to make a card for my nephews 7th birthday. He likes football so I used an Elzybells Stamp as I don't have many boy-ish stamps!

This stamp is very handy as it's good for young or old. I also used the football stamp as an embellishment as I didn't think I'd be able to get away with ribbon, gems or pearls! I used a 6x6" card and the paper was Karen Foster Designs called "Soccer Ball Collage". I used an EK Success punch to break up the background and a Personal Impressions clear stamp for the sentiment.
