Ismaki 20


Every week the sketch on http://ismaki.wordpress.com/ is totally fabulous and very inspiring. This week the sketch involved making a circular card. It made me remember some circular card footballs I bought a few weeks ago at a Pound shop. At the time I thought I would be able to mount them on a card to use as a backing paper, but seeing the challenge this week I decided to fasten two together to create the card.

I made a hinge on the inside between the two football shapes and then covered the whole inside area with black light weight card.

I stamped and painted footballer Edwin using my Lyra crayons and he is decoupaged to give him more oomph! The birthday words are attached with white sparkly brads and I've already added a name as I happen to know a keen Sunderland supporter who has a birthday coming up fairly soon.

Fantastic card!!!!! I thought about making a circular card last month but it remained a fantasy as I chickened out. I love this, great design and cute Edwin.
