Footie Easel Card

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.
