Football Themed Birthday Card

Today, I am sharing the birthday card I made for one of my great nephews who 

was eight last month. 

He loves everything to do with dinosaurs but as he also loves playing football, 

I thought I would make him a football themed card for a change, using some 

snippets of black and white card from my stash.

I started by matting the square piece of embossed football card 

onto black card and glued it directly onto the card base.

I die-cut the football border, twice in white card which I glued together,

and once with black card. After glueing it onto the football panel, I 

 paper pieced the black parts into the footballs.

Lastly I added the sentiment, number, alphabet tiles and punched circles.

The products I have used are:

Crafters Companion Embossing folder - Football Crazy

Card Deco - Happy Birthday

Football border, number and alphabet tiles - Brands unknown

paper and card from my ever growing stash!
