Footballer Birthday Card

I recently bought some fantastic 'Flippin Men' stamp sets from Imag-e-nation that had been reduced to just £1 a set instead of £9.99!!!!  They were so good that I went back and purchased some more!!

They stamp beautifully and as men are so difficult to make cards for they are ideal as they do them for several different interests!!!  They still have some left in their £1 shop just here and postage is free on orders over £5 so a real bargain!!!!

One of the sets was a football themed one and as it's my brother's birthday in a few days and he likes his football I used the stamps to make his card.  I coloured the image with Promarkers and cut it out and stuck it to the card with foam pads to raise it and used a freebie backing paper from the net.  I stamped the 'quote' on a circle shape and used some card candy coloured with Promarkers to make it look like a sign.  I then used foam pads to stick it to the card.  I used lots of Anita's 3D Gloss on the ball, cap, the number 2, the beer and the cap.  I also used it on the boots and ball on the quote.  I haven't put a 'Happy Birthday' sentiment on this card as I preferred the footie quote.  However, I have stamped a sentiment on the inside of the card.

Here's the finished card

    Thats a lovely card Angie. I always struggle when making cards for men, just like buying pressies. Soooo much easier for women.

    Hi Angie

    What a great card - I too have just treated myself to these stamp sets - but from another source - a craft shop local to me was closing down :( I got mine for £2 each and I thought that was a bargain so you did really well. Anyway back to your card - I think that its great and love the sentiment.

    Thanks for joining us over at Kaboodle Doodles and good luck.
