My Time To Craft 'Outdoor Sports' Challenge

Good morning all.

This week at My Time To Craft we are challenged to 'Outdoor Sports' so football, rugby, fishing, golf etc etc.  When I first thought of this challenge the only image that came to mind is the one I used on my first card of a young lad and his fishing rod, after making the card I remembered the second card I made for my step grandson's birthday so thought I would post them both.

 For the first card, I didn't like the fact that there was only a fishing rod and felt it needed something else. I found a couple of fish and cut them out on my silhouette cameo, then I very nicely asked my husband if he had a bit of fishing line with a hook attached that I could 'borrow'. He got me out the line first about a metre of it and then asked what sized hook I wanted, his face was a picture when I showed him my two fish that I wanted caught lol. I do think they finish the card off nicely although it will have to go with an accident advisory attached looking at the hook!



Supplies:-
6" Card Blank - Natalie & Amy's
Card Stock - Bazzill
Designer Paper - My Minds Eye Miss Caroline 'Dolled Up'
Image - Sweetpea Stamps 'Bobby's Day Out'
Sentiment - Crafter's Companion Mulberry Wood 'Fishing'
Medium - Promarkers & Flexmarkers
Die Cuts - Fishing Charms #12719 by Snapdragon Snippets
Corners - Zutter Corner Round It All

Promarkers & Flexmarkers Used:-

Skin - Sunkissed Pink, Dusky Pink & Almond

Hankie - Red, Lipstick Red & Pineapple Crush
Fishing Rod - Walnut, Cocoa & Tan
Leaves & Grass - Leaf Green & Grass

Finally here is my other card which is definitely more sport's like. Samuel is a huge football fan and Tottenham Hotspur supporter so I had to make it in the relevant colours. I made this so that the shirt had a triangle back to it, ensuring it would stand up yet leave enough room for me to write a message on. The card is 7" x 5".  

Supplies:-
Card Stock - Lidl
Die Cuts - Football Jersey #47211 by Studio Ilustado, Soccer Card #38648 by Snapdragon Snippets Name was Arial & Number was Aharoni.
