Football Fever

It's all about the football right now and Leeds Utd.
We smashed our last game 6 - 0 and we're going up into the Premiership next season.
Wahoo!  Bring it on.

So, no surprise that I reached for this cute, footballer stamp.


I stamped the boy and his ball and then masked them, to do a little ink smooshing. 

I found a video on YouTube, by Natalie at  NB cards, where she shows you how to make and use a very simple, smooshing tool. I am not great with 'random' so this was a game changer for me. Allowing a lot more control of where the ink goes. This was just my first attempt, and I'm well chuffed with it.

I wish I'd stamped and smooshed further down the card panel though,  but hey-ho!


Challenges


I've used distress inks on the smooshing, and copic markers for the boy.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



  • LOTV - footballer stamp
  • distress ink - peacock feathers / lucky clover
  • sentiment - lawn fawn - scootin' by
  • pinkfreshstudio - diagonal stitch rectangle
  • memento black ink got the footballer
  • versafine clair nocturne for the sentiment
  • copic markers / white gel pen.
