Challenge:   Football or Winter Sports

August 27 - September 2nd, 2013

 

My grandson LOVES all sports, so creating a football card for his birthday was easy!  I used the  Bugaboo digi stamp Football Boy and the sentiment is from the SU set Circle of Friendship.  Cardstock and patterned paper from my stash.  Image printed on Crafter's Companion white cardstock and colored using Copic markers.  A football charm was used to embellish the star.

The Altered Eclectics August Challenge can be found here.

I started with a paint brush and large Craft Clothes pin, painted them with Glidden Interior Paint, then painted over them using One Step Crackle Paint.  When dry, I sponged Distress Walnut Ink into the crackle.  Decorated the Paint Brush and then adhered it to the painted clothes pin.
