Who cares? You’re flyin’!

Sharing a fun card I made with an image from Just Ink Lined called Cycling Star available from Splash Crafts.

This card was made for one of my staff who has recently got into cycling and rides into work every day.  So I’ve coloured up my cycling star in colours that match the recipient’s cycle gear and added in stubble like he sports.

I kept this card very CAS and kept everything down in the bottom of the card so I could play along at AAA Cards for their up to one third challenge.  I left the sky a simply blue cardstock (white space doesn’t always have to be white!) and fussy cut my rider.  As this is a top folded card, I trimmed the top layer to expose the bottom piece of cardstock and layered up some washi tape to give the impression of a road.  I finished off with a fun chippie from Make it Crafty that I coloured up in red for contrast and doused in clear embossing powder to give it a lovely shiny enamel shape finish.

Over at the Alphabet Challenge they are looking for projects with vehicles so I am entering my human powered vehicle over there.  At CAS on Friday their current theme is birthday so I’m also linking up there.

Anyone who does not watch rugby league is not a real person…

…guess that means I’m an alien

It’s my nephew’s birthday shortly and, as he loves his footie, I’ve made a card using Just Ink Lined’s Rugby Six Nations.

Now technically rugby isn’t the same as league (OK, so more than technically) but I couldn’t find a league digi nor could I find a player digi, there was a sweet rubber stamp of a boy diving for the line (again I think it was a rugby player) but I didn’t have the time for it to make it here from the UK.  So I just went with this one figuring that the boots and the ball are fairly similar, so says this self-confessed football ignoramus!

My nephew plays in his local club, the Narromine Jets, so I went with their colours and also printed out and fussy cut their logo and adhered it over the 6 nations that was printed on the ball.  I’m so ignorant of all things footie I actually had to look up what you call the thingie the ball sits on when they go to kick it!  Despite all this I think my card turned out quite nicely.

The layout is from the current sketch over at Sketch Saturday, which was nice and CAS and allowed me to layer up the yellow, orange and red that are the Jets’ colours.  I didn’t have any black tape so I used some tape measure one as I do know the field is marked out at various points and the commentators are always talking about the such and such metre line.  The Tim Holtz Typed Tokens’ set had just the perfect word for this card ‘play’ and I used a Star Fastener, also from Tim Holtz, to attach it as a nod to the way we speak of sports stars.

Over at Cardz 4 Guyz they are looking for football crazy themed cards, I’ve certainly got that covered with this card so I am entering it over there.  At Inkspirational their challenge features the word prompt ‘space’, something the card layout I chose allows a lot of, not to mention all that space on a footie field they have to measure out in metres so I am also entering my card in their challenge.
