Good morning card makers, it's time for a brand new challenge over at Cardz4Guyz.
This week we are featuring cards for men that feature:-
SPORTS or HOBBIES
I chose sports for my card. I shared another cricket themed card a few challenges ago which I made in good time for my son's birthday but as I'm prone to do I put it away somewhere safe and then couldn't find it so had to make another! If I do find it I suppose I can use it next year!!
My second take on the cricket theme uses the same LOTV image but a simpler layout.
After colouring the image, I fussy cut him out and then concentrated on the background.
The DP is NitWits from the bits box, printer still playing up, the green I cut with that same MS grass edge punch and layered over the cloud DP, inking the top section with some Mowed Grass DI for a bit of depth. The cloud is an MFT die cut and the sentiment is Wplus9.
Both the DP and cloud die cut were added to a panel of white copy paper before being cut down to fit my 5 x 7 base card. The cricketer was popped up on pads and the grass I cut off from the original was put back free hand. A cricket ball made from a shaped circle die cut with a few white gel pen dashes, added with a foam pad and a few movement lines added freehand.
That's it then from me, but for more inspiration please check out the rest of the DT here.
