Football fever

Hello lovely people,

It seems I've been away from blogging for a while again; this time was for the very good reason of being on holiday!  I was in Devon but the cottage we were staying in had no WiFi and there was no 3G connection to be had anywhere we went so I was a bit cut off.  On the plus side we had amazing sunshine all week and a wonderfully relaxing time :-D

So now of course it's time for a new challenge at Top Tip Tuesday and our theme is...

KIDS!

We are sponsored by 2cuteink and the prize is 2 images of the winners choice :-)

I have used another of my collection of LOTV stamps that haven't seen ink and since I needed to make a football card for a little boy, well, how could I not use him?!
My stash is always overflowing with pretty girly DP and there never seems to be much in there for the boys so I grabbed a pad of this quite old collection of Maja DP recently with boys cards in mind... it works a treat!


I had a request for the footballer to be dressed in the new Forest Green Rovers kit... so, off to the internet to see what it looked like and surprise surprise... it's green!  In fact it is VERY green!  I trawled through my Copic collection to try to get a good match and it's not perfect but I think it will do.


Card recipe;
DP: Life in the Country - Maja Designs (available from Live and Love Crafts)
Sentiment: Happy Circular Sentiments - LOTV
Dies: memory box mini star set and Precious stars (minus bows!)
Letters: cut with Cricut

Copic colours;
Skin: E000/00/21/11/04 & R20
Hair: ???
Shirt/shorts: YG13/G14/YG17 & N8/9/100
Ball: N8/9/100 & N0/1
Boots: N7/8/9
Grass: YG61/63/G94/99

I hope you will pop over to Top Tip Tuesday and check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the team plus a fabulous tutorial on all kinds of masking from Deneen :-)

    So cute Kat, love his hair and fab kit! Glad you had a nice Holiday, when we went to the Isle of Wight our cottage had no WiFi and the 3 G was pants on the island - don't you feel isolated?? Susan x
