Father’s Day football

Hello everyone. It’s a big weekend of football here in the UK, with the men’s FA Cup final yesterday and the women’s one today. That prompted me to start working on Father’s Day cards ready for next month – this first card uses the wee sports folk stamps from Clarity, plus their BOW-WOB (black-on-white, white-on-black) papers and picks up the ‘green plus one’ theme from Color Dare (I went with black as my second shade).

I found an inky mop up in my stash (that’s three days in a row now!) and cut it down with one of Clarity’s nested circle dies. I stamped the footballer into the centre and shaded the ground under him by sponging a little ‘rustic wilderness’ Distress Oxide across a torn piece of paper.

I cut a piece of the spotty BOW-WOB paper to fit on a 5×5 card blank and added a mount of black card. I lined up a Pinky Gray greetings sticker, then glued some scrap card on the reverse of the circle die cut and stuck that into place.

I rather like the little pop of green against the black and white background – and I can’t be accused of being partisan this weekend as none of the teams in the two finals wear green strips!

  4. Wonderful card, Deborah! I remember how important English football was to my Scottish grandfather. He would wait for his cousin back in the old country to send him newspaper clippings about the matches. It was impossible to find out back then without making an expensive overseas phone call. So he patiently waited for the letters to arrive. All the men in my family played soccer and rugby (and the bagpipes) and loved it. Thank you for joining our Color Dare Challenge.
