Sweet Sketch Wednesday Challenge 54

This was a fun card to make. It was inspired by our recent events with South Africa hosting the World Cup. My husband loves the World Cup and, in fact, it is the only sporting event that he will watch. Of course, the colors represent Brazil, which is a family favorite. It is the team we cheer for! They are an amazing team. I saw this freebie image from Bugaboo Stamps called Soccer Nut and I thought it was totally appropriate. The papers came from my stash. The blue cardstock is DCWV papers, the other cardstock came from The Paper Company from the Seaside and Primary packs. The printed papers came from my stash and the soccer was actually cut out from paper from the DCWV Grade School Stack. I used my Zig Brush H20 to color the image. I used my Sweetberry Ink Dye Pads: aspen, ivy, amber, raven, admiral, and java. I really hope that you like my card!

    Ooh fancy! We're having a big fun World Cup here in Ireland too. As long as France don't get through we'll be happy, you probably don't know the story about it but there was an incident with the ball and Henri's hand and Ireland got knocked out in the qualifiers because of it. Bit of a sore point for the ENTIRE nation and I don't even like soccer! Ha ha! Anyway great card and great image, love that soccer nut! Thanks for playing at SSW!
