We Love Stamping ~ Masculine

I was delighted to be invited to be a Guest Designer for the We Love Stamping August Challenge which begins today with the theme of 'Masculine'.  For my GD card I made a Bay Window card.

The image is an old wood mounted Francoise Read 'Footy Boy' stamp.  I've had it for over 15 years and also have a similar 'Footy Girl' stamp, because girls like football too!  The image is coloured with Promarkers in our local team's football kit and I added three black pearls in the top corner.  I didn't have a football stamp the right size, so I used peel offs, attached to pieces of white card and fussy cut.  The stamp also had a football as part of the design, but I decided to use another peel off on top of the stamped one to make it match the other three.

I used a Crafts Too football embossing folder for the side panels and also for a panel inside the back panel.  The card folds flat for posting.

I am joining in the following challenges:
