Football card

Hi Everyone, sorry I've not been blogging or commenting, we are still decorating, just one more room to go and then all the house will be done whew!  Just as well we haven't got a mansion LOL.  Being older slows things down too, we have found.

Just popped in with a quick post to show I haven't been slacking.  Here's a card I did in a rush, I was asked as I was leaving work if I could do a card by the morning and I had quite specific instructions, it had to be a footballer, the Swansea football team, the USA and Wales.  I included their new kit and the boy was thrilled as it was his birthday present, what luck.

Here it is in 2 formats, one from PS as I did it before printing, and after, with all the layers and decoupaged Kenny K footballer too.  I copied the Swans emblem and made a paper for it and also made the football paper too in PS. Got flags from the web and used them too. I "warped" the kit to fit the image.

Hope you are all well and enjoying this summer?
