Birthday Card for my Nephew

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.

The products I have used are:-
Crafter's Companion Embossing Folder - Football Crazy
Alphabet Dies - Brand unknown
Happy Little Stampers - Everyday Sentiments
