Today I'd like to share a card I made for a Football fan. He is a huge fan no he LOVES Manchester United and he will be turning 30 soon.
I saw something very similar on Pinterest and thought he would enjoy this. The card is a A5 bright white, which I matted on to it a slightly smaller red card. Then I added a smaller again black card.
I took what I call my "chicken wire" embossing folder and passed a sheet of A5 white card through it, I then cut away several octagons to reveal the black behind. I cut a semi- circle out of grass green and chopped into it, I did it again with a smaller piece. I then cut out a circle in red and then in white and did the same as above cutting away a few octagons to reveal the red beneath but I chose to add black behind a couple.
I tucked the ball in to the grass using foam pads at one end to lift it. I cut out the 30 using my Cricut. Sometime ago I picked up some Official Man-U logo stuff made for crafters and I had these bits left, so I added their emblem to the top left and a little banner to the bottom. A few -- & xx and we were done!
I am entering this card in the following challenge blogs:

Wow, what a cool card!! Your "fan" will LOVE this one for sure! I love that you created this out of supplies that you had; making them work instead of having the "specific" item needed. Thanks for playing with The House That Stamps Built.
