It's my youngest son's birthday on Friday and he is an enthusiastic football supporter so the choice of a football card was not difficult to make.
I cut the hexagons with the SU hexagon punch and embossed the white ones with a Swiss dots EF. I mounted them onto some "Chelsea" blue card, which I made by colouring white with a blue Copic to get the right shade. Then I die cut the round shape which was quite difficult as it was quite thick. And of course it flattened the embossing! I edged the sentiment panel with a ruler and the same blue Copic. Lots of snippets used so I'm heading off to the Playground again.
What a great card Sue! Such a clever idea - one to keep in mind here. And I love that you used up a load of snippets.
