A Couple of Boys Cards

My youngest son, had a party to go to this Saturday and another one next Saturday, so I have had to make a couple of boys cards. Lucky for me the boys are both football made, so I found making these cards real easy, and quite simple to do.

I loved the image for this first one which I was sent by the Jo over on MSE, and has been coloured with Promarkers.

The colours of the kit are supposed to represent Arsenal FC.

The image was matted onto some plain red card, and the strip paper was a from a huge paper stack that I got a while ago, and which again was matted onto some plain red card.

The card sentiment is from Craftwork Cards.


This second card is made for next week's party, and was made from an A6 card, using exactly the same backing papers and matting as the first card.

This image was given to me by the lovely Angie from MSE, and again the child is an Arsenal fan, so I have coloured the image with promarkers to match the team kit.

The sentiment again is from Craftwork cards.

I'd like to enter these cards into the following Challenges:

Digistamps4Joy - photo inspirations (stripy paper)
Karber Weekly Challenge - card for a boy
Ooh La La Creations Challenge - stripes
StampsRUs Challenge - child's birthday card
Meljens Challenge - stripes
