Coloured with Promarkers and added faux stitching around the edge using a Letraset fine line drawing pen The paper is from Raspberry Road This cupcake stand is so cute I think I'm going to make another card with it today but add some pretty embellishments this time :-) Hope you're having a great weekend!

Hi there This months blog challenge at Lili of the Valley is Male/Sporty and I wanted to try something a bit different! The World Cup has now started (or so I hear...) and England's 1st game is tonight so this card is perfect! I used a pre coloured image from LOTV I cut out the goal, grass and flags all free hand Made a little trophie on white card and coloured with Promarkers Made the GOAL sentiment using Studio G Alphabet stamps, and used foam pads to attach. For the goal net I used 1mm cotton thread and weaved it all This took me quite a while and I got a bit sticky with glue :-P but love the result, great for a footy fan Hope you like it and come on England!
