Football Fan

A birthday card for my niece's hubby.  It makes a change to make a football themed card in red, rather than the blue and white football cards I usually make.  He supports a football team across the other side of the city, so it had to be a red card this time. 😉

The image is a Sweet Dixie 'Football and Boot' die.  I used the die with black card for the outline and inlaid all the spaces in the ball and the boot.  The image is layered on Memory Box 'Stitched Circle Layers' die cuts.  The patterned paper is from Anna Marie Designs, layered on a black mat.  Six small punched stars finished off my card.

I am joining in the following challenges:

  6. It's hard for me to wrap my head around that being "football" because here it would be soccer! I do like the image with the ball and cleats for him. That is great birthday paper you used. I hope your football season is played. Ours is supposed to go on scheduled as of now.

    1. The football season is being delayed by a month, but fans won't be allowed to watch in the stadium and even then numbers will be limited. I'm not sure how that will work for all the fans who have already bought season tickets. xx
