I've made another football card in our local team colours, this time a slider card. I've lost count or how many blue and white cards I've made for family and friends over the years!
I started by covering a card blank with royal blue pearlised card. I actually remembered to cut a big rectangle out of the middle of the blue card, so I can use it for another project. I think it's called 'gutting' and I usually forget to do it until it's too late! Royal blue card seems really difficult to find and it's a colour I like to use a lot for football themed cards. The stamp is an old wood mounted Francoise Read 'Footy Boy' stamp, coloured with Promarkers. The stamp has a football roughly in the position where my football is, but as I wanted to make a slider card with the football being headed into the air from the footballer's head. I masked off the football on the stamp when I inked it and then just stamped the boy. I used one of the dies from the MFT 'Surf & Turf' dies for the slider part, with a 'Spin and Slide' disc, a prize I won in The Playground a few months ago. I put a football peeloff on a stiff piece of white card and fussy cut around the football. The sentiment is computer generated and I finished off my card with three Card Candi.

A great football themed card. I also have trouble sourcing what I call 'real' blue card - so much of it is aqua or turquoise in tone, irritating!!
