So here is my card. It was quite difficult choosing what kind of card to make for this challenge. Men are always so difficult to design a card for! Anyone else have problems with men?
I made a 6x6 card blank using diamond white card. I cut a piece of football backing paper which came from a Papermania men's pack. I think it was called "It's A Man's Life". I left a narrow border around the edge of the card. I then matt and layered black and white card on the card base in various sizes. I then cut 3 footballs out from a football backing paper and attached to the left hand side of the card using silicone glue. I applied more glue around the edges of the footballs to give more dimension and curve to the balls. I then applied a "Happy Father's Day" silver peel off to the right hand side of the card. To complete the card, I used flexi bend peel offs around the card and the the small white and black piece of card. I also used 2 clear adhesive gems.....you always need some bling on a card!
I hope you like this card. I'd love to hear what you think and would be very grateful if you became a follower of my blog. Remember to leave some feedback for the other Design Team Members, we all love hearing what you think of our projects.
Thanks again, and good luck, I can't wait to see what you make!
