This is a card that I created especially for a Chelsea supporter. I have also done the same card with a different badge (Man United) for someone else. This card was a challenge as it involved different techniques - decoupage in particular.

The net was created with a pattern that I pricked onto the card first and then sewed the net pattern directly onto the card, creating the great 3D effect. The footballer and balls were taken from a clipart package and the football badge decoupage were downloaded from a forum I ama  member of that kindly provides decoupage (Imag-e-nation).

The words were created from silver letter peeloffs and really made the card indivdual. The chants were found on the chelsea website and typed up into word as was the Happy Birthday legend.

This is one of my favourite stamps. The card is simple but effective. It is stamped and embossed with black, coloured in with Orange Gel pens and then I have made the window effect with 3D clear gloss. The words are simple peel offs.

Special birthday card, mountred on two colours of handmade paper. Bones printed off computer. Peel off stickers for words.
