FOOTBALL PLAYER CARD

Hi everyone, Martha Lucia here with a "Football Player Card" to share with you. It's not common for me make masculine  cards but, I received this wonderful laser cut and I decided to use it immediately.

To create this project I am using a Football Player Laser Cut available in our store. It comes in natural wood, chipboard and cork.  I used the wood version and I decided to give it color using ESF Chalk It Up Cherry Jubilee.

  

I applied the ESF Chalk It Up with a Black Gold by Dynasty paint brush and let it dry for a few minutes.

After this, I cut the base of my card using Real Red card stock. The size of the card is a regular size 5-1/2"x4-1/4". I also cut the second and third layers. The second layer is Night of Navy and the size is 5-3/8"x4-1/8" because I created a distress border over this. The third layer is 5-1/8"x3-7/8". 4. I decided to stamp the sentiment first, using my Get-it-Straight™ Laser Square. This helped me to align all my stamps. 

 

Then, I aligned the three layers and pasted these using snail adhesive and pasted the special details. I embossed a piece of card stock with a Circle Interlock Embossing Folder and pasted this over the white layer. I cut a circle with a framelit and pasted it with snail adhesive too. I finally pasted my principal embellishment: the painted football player.

I always use my Get-it-Straight™ Laser Square to align the layers, the embellishments and all the pieces that I use in my creations.

It's fall....my favorite season for so many reasons.....one of which is football!!!  I scrap a lot of football LO's and Unique Laser Designs (ULD) has some great embellishments to add to one of my LO's:

To the left of the picture you can see the football player wooden piece....so easy to spray black with a Dylusions spray, and add to the LO.  You could use black paint, embossing powder, any medium you want.....I like the shadow look it gives.  Here is the piece I used:

On the kraft cardstock under the football player I used the brick wall stencil:

I used the same spray mist as for the football player, here is a closer look:

Don't be afraid to use ULD pieces on your scrapbook LO's!  They have a lot of options for some fun easy embellishments!
