I have chosen an image by charmed cards and crafts called football George, I have coloured him with a mixture of papermania watercolour markers, Prisma pencils, sakura glaze pens, promarkers and chalk. I then cut him out with a spellbinders die and mounted on to glossy black card. I added the football badge from some wrapping paper bought from the club. The DP is made by me from a text cd rom called toolbox, this is great if you want personalised backing paper. I have also added the club anthem and mounted onto black card also. The sentiment strip is computer generated, as is the one below the image, and the bottom right is a stamp from flippin men football set I have. I finished off wih a black button and tied some raffia to it. I think he will love this card and won't be surprised if he frames it lol.
