Today's card is one I made for my nephew for his birthday which was
just before Christmas.
He is a West Ham United football supporter, so I made the
card in the team colours of claret and blue.
I used snippets of light blue and burgundy card to make this card, along with a
snippet of vellum which I wrapped around the embossed panel after tearing the edges
and heat embossing the stamped birthday sentiment.
.
I die-cut each of the letters in burgandy card and black foam, glued them
together to give the raised effect on the card.
I found this idea on Pinterest.
