I made this card for my youngest great-nephew's birthday. I can't believe he's going to be four - where has the time gone?
I trimmed the football paper, layered it onto blue card and attached it to the card blank. I resized the digi and printed it onto white paper (as my elderly printer refuses to print on card) and die cut a square before colouring it with my Promarkers. The image was layered onto blue card and attached to the centre.
To make this card I used:
6" x 6" white matt card blank
Lili of the Valley 'Football Crazy' digi stamp
Lawn Fawn 'Outside In Stitched Square Stackables' die
Promarkers
Wild Rose Studio 'Man About Town' paper
Dark blue card
I am entering the following challenges:
Allsorts - I Spy With My Little Eye Something Beginning with B (Boy)
Seize the Birthday - Anything Goes
Cutie Pie Challenge - Delightful Digi Stamps
The Male Room - Sport

A fantastic card for a 4 year old, love the background paper with your image
ReplyDeleteA lovely card Kath and he will love it.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried, what I call tricking your printer. I print the picture in the middle of a piece of copier paper. Then I cut a piece of card around 250gsm to the size you want the image to be for the card. A little bigger helps to make it easier to line it up. I then put a tiny piece of double sided sticky tape in each corner of the piece of card. Put the card piece over the image where you want it to be and then remove the tape, sticking the card to the paper. Make sure you put it in the printer as it was when you first printed the image.
Hope this helps. Hugs, Carol S.xx
