Go Team!

Hi everyone! Hope you're enjoying your week and not freezing too much if you're in the UK!! Just a quick post today- this is a birthday card my Mum asked me to make for my brother. Now I know the colours are a bit bright (!!), and I hardly ever use yellow on cards, but my Mum wanted me to do a card in Watford football colours as my brother is a Watford fan.

So I used Football Ted from Elzybells (Elzybells are still a fav of mine, I miss them!! Though my beady eyes have definately spotted Elizbeth's designs in the new Penny Black collection!) I coloured him with copics in Watford colours and then used brush markers to add the thin stripes to his shirt. I used lyra pencils for the grass. The papers are Echo Park for the record- v handy as they include red, yellow and black ones!!! Sentiment is by MFT from A La Mode All Star. The little football was recycled from a card my Mum gave my hubbie a few years ago (yes, I keep and recycle everything, you never know when it might be handy!!)
