Rugby World Cup

My 7 yr old son has been playing rugby (the tag version) for 3 years and we are very excited that it is the start of the Rugby World Cup today. To celebrate I made this Scruffy Little Kitten card, using Alfie the rugby player stamp.

I have used Graphic 45 papers from the Mother Goose 8x8 pad. I hoard Graphic 45 papers so decided to force myself to use them! I have also used the Craftwell Argyle embossing folder which came with my Cut n Boss machine. This was the first time I'd used the machine for embossing and I'm really impressed. The red card is just cheap card from my kids' crafty stash but it has embossed beautifully.

The image has been coloured using Spectrum Noir colours:

Hair TN1 EB1 EB2

Skin FS2 FS4

Clothes IG1 IG2 TB6 TB7 DR2 DR3 IG8 IG9

Ball IG1 IG2 DR3

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Hope you like this little chap as much as I do. Fingers crossed for an England win tonight xxx

Dreams come a size too big...

This cute little card, with it's lovely sentiment, features a Scruffy Little Kitten stamp from Crafter's Companion called Charlie. As mum to 2 boys, these stamps were a must buy- others in the collection include a rugby player and footballer so perfect for my boys and their friends.

I've coloured the image Spectrum Noir markers and combined it with papers and a tag from the Scruffy Little Kitten cd-rom. 

I finished the card with some Docrafts Vintage Notes buttons and a stamped sentiment from the same stamp set. I just love the sentiments that come with these stamps, lovely messages to share with children, I think.

I would like to enter this card for Fantasy Stampers Challenge #43 Boy's Rule
