Football makes

Hello bloggers, 

Sorry bit of a late post from me today. Been busy in my craft room today and then been to the sports shop with the boys after school. So not had time to post until now lol

Looking through my pictures today I have realised that I have been making lots of blue creations, as you will probably tell over my next few blog posts lol..especially male cards..


Here are two football ones I've made using popcorn bear from crafters companion stamp


This first one I made to give our neghbour for his 14th birthday. I colours the image with pencils. Punched the scalloped border and attached gingham ribbons and twine from my stash
I stamped the penny black sentiment onto a white tag and attached to the card.
I finished with some peel off letter for the name ans a couple of gems.



For this second card I used the same stamp also coloured with my pencils.
Die cut the circle panel and layered onto a scalloped panel. DPs are dovecrafts
Again just added gems to finish

Quite happy with these football cards, saying I usually dislike making them ;-)

I would like to enter my cards into the following challenges
(Football fun in the sun, my boys love playing football on the field in the summer days)
(Well my usual fav colour is green, however I have made lots of blue creations this past week so then I may be changed my fav colour to blue lol.

Thank for stopping by today

Hugs Kelly
