Happy Tuesday Everyone.
The card I want to show you is my first ever easel card. I had visions of getting in a twist with it but it was pretty straightforward. I cheated slightly and used 1 1/2 card blanks.
A friend at work asked me to make a card for her grandson, who is 10 on Christmas Day. He plays for East Kilbride Thistle Juniors so I designed my own digi-stamp and coloured him in the teams colours. I snagged the backgrounds and the football from the net. The sentiment was made on Photoshop.
My favourite bit (apart from my image – which I’m chuffed with) is the football. I stuck it onto some acetate and attached it to the card with a glue dot so it looks as if it’s floating. You can sort of see what I mean in the bottom picture.

Sentiment – my own designed on Photoshop Elements
