LET'S CELEBRATE! (1)

Good weather brings people outdoors to play sports. I'm not much of a sports person myself, but I do like the sport's themed stamp sets Lawn Fawn brought us this year. I decided to make a sport's themed birthday card, using cute mice playing football. I used the Simply Celebrate Critters stamp set, and a bucnh of other sets.

For the background I used a clouds stencil and ink blended the clouds with Broken China Distress Oxide Ink. For the grass, I used Twisted Citron and Lukcy Clover Distress Oxide Inks. I didn't used any extra paper layers.

I trimmed a piece of cardstock, which I will be turning into a little brick wall. I used a brick stencil and applied Manatee Ink onto it. I trimmed a slim strip of Storm Cloud cardstock and added it on top of the wall. 

I stamped all the images. I also used images from the following stamp sets: All-Star, Dandy Day, Bubbles of Joy, Tiny Sports Friends, Crazy Antics, Virtual Friends Add-On and Really High Five. I colored everything with Copic Markers. Here are all the colors I used:

Mice: E41 - E43 - E44/ W0 - W3 - W5/ E71 - E74 - E77/ E00 - E11

Flags: Y15 - Y17/ W0 - W3/ BG53 - BG57

Football: E33 - E35

Soda can: Y15 - Y17/ BG53 - BG57/ W0 - W3

Chips: Y15 - Y17/ BG53 - BG57

Plaid: R05 - R27

I die cut all the images and assembled the card. Before I adhered the speech bubbles, I stamped the sentiments into each bubble. I added #1 in one of them, using Lobster Ink. I saw Nichol Spohr doing this in a video, and I really liked this detail. 

I'm very pleased with this card, perfect for sports fans.
