A vintage birthday card on the theme of sports today and using the only sports related stamp I have got!!
The textured card was stamped with the image in embossing ink and PanPastels rubbed over the top to give the ghost image in the background. I used several masks and layered embossing inks and PanPastels for the backing panel.
For the focal image I blended blue and green PanPastels on the card and then stamped with archival ink. Using the Sofft blending tools and a rubber I 'painted' the main image. Now I see it photographed, I realise I should have tried some of my team mate Claire's clouds on it. Mmmm must remember that next time.
To enter the PanPastel UK challenge - just pop over to their blog to see the details for entry and the fabulous inspiration from the design team. The lucky winner will receive a special trial pack of Pan colours and tools from Your Creativity Store.
Have fun with your crafting.

ReplyDeleteLove the card Brenda,Paul & Sam are both cricket mad and would love this card, Sam plays for a local team but has yet to get to play because of the weather, even despite the sun today, the match has been cancelled because the ground is to wet.He's not a happy chap. See you on Wednesday, looking forward to it.

ReplyDeletePerfect sporty card Brenda ... great work as usual from you x
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely comments left on my blog ... I worked all day with the distressed pens and was pleased with the card I finished but loads went into the bin, as I tried so many times with different card and paper to get them to blend a bit! I was a little disappointed with them, like you ! x
Oh what a perfect mans card, its brilliant
