Today I choose "Football". My husband and I are not fans at all but yesterday we had a visitor who is and as his Grandson is soon to be 11 and doing a lot of training for the under 12's I thought it appropriate.
I used my Cricut cartridge "Soccer" which is brillant for these sorts of cards cut the image from black pearlescant card - 3" high and shadow added a football embellishment and printed Happy Birthday.
Enjoy your day.
This is version 2. I have draw a fine line around to frame it. Thanks Chrissy for the tip. The sentiment is done with my design runner. Font is Chalkboard.
Did you handwrite the sentiment Sandra or use a handwriting font on the computer?
ReplyDeleteYou were certainly quick off the mark today!
I think this may be one occasion where a little framing may have added a little something to the image!
Super card!

I have a pazzles machine which cuts out any image and I hadnt thought of doing a card like this as part of a clean and simple card. Hope the weather is lovely in Loire - it usually is at this time of year if memory serves correct - enjoy your weekend x
