Welcome - thanks you for calling in.
I have entitled this 'more sports' as we here in the Antipodes are being bombarded with the Rugby World Cup fixtures, and the final is about to be played as I start this.
I made this for a young man - I don't really know him, so decided to make this 'sports neutral' by trimming off the round ball by the boys right foot - New Zealand is very much a rugby nation, so I did not want to offend him with a soccer ball!! The image is a freebie from Daisy Doodles.
The image was coloured with chalks, with the red detail being added with a sparkle pen, and the top of the trophy with a gold pen.
The side panel is acetate, painted with Lumiere paints on one side, and when dry, embossed with the divine swirls embossing folder. I learnt this technique on Splitcoast Stampers, but have never been able to find it again to link it for you. This panel was stapled on to the base.
The tickets were a freebie from Marion 82 from her blog When the Scrap Hits the Fun. I had to cut them out by hand, but it was easy to do as they are so well designed.

Thanks for calling in - May your day be blessed
