The first thing that popped into my mind when I saw the theme was football as me and my son have been avidly watching the World Cup (except for the ones at silly o'clock). I don't usually watch football but love the World Cup as there's lots of excitement and it's done in a few weeks. I decided to make a football shirt shaped card and I think it turned out super fun. I hope you like it too.
Here is my card:
A closer look at the details:
Plus I decorated the inside:
For a fun touch I added a number to the back of the shirt:
I began by making a top folding card base 4 1/2" x 5 1/2" and die cut the shirt leaving the top of the die overhanging the fold of the card base ever so slightly. The finished shirt size card is approximately 4 1/4" x 5'. I used 2 stencils and ink blended grass on the bottom and clouds on the top of the shirt. I die cut the footballer silhouette image x 4 from black card and stacked them using liquid glue; I then adhered it to the centre using liquid glue. I stamped the 'happy birthday' sentiment above and the 'have a ball' sentiment below using black ink. For the inside I again used the grass stencil and ink blended along the bottom. I stamped the sentiment in the centre and added another silhouette image in the bottom left corner. A really simple card but I think most men/boys would love it.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Your football/soccer card is pure delight, Denise. The images of the players, the scenes you've set them in and the jersey shape make for a fabulous, eye-catching creation. An avid football fan will be thrilled when this card arrives in their mailbox.
