Sports & Hobbies WLSC

  Hi Everyone my DT make today is for

We Love Stamping

This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme chosen by Anesha. 

 I have very few sports stamps, in fact just one set, I've had for years. I've not used this set of images, so decided to follow a sketch and case a card that was shown on the back of the stamps package.
I firstly stamped the pins, I was going to write the Happy onto the pins, but I'm a bit shaky of late, so decided to see if my Silhouette could cut, out of card, 5mm x 7mm letters. It did, incredible really, I'm always impressed how good it is. I added them to the pins. 
 
Next I die cut the circle for them and die cut a paper from a pad for the larger circle, with the same colours, that I had decided on. 
 
For the background I stamped the ball over the card and die cut it to fit the base card, it was added to it.
 
Next the circles were glued together, and edged with the ball layer. The pins were added, one sideways, as if it was hit by the ball. I then added a die cut orange piece of card and stamped the birthday on it. Adding the ball.

Great card for the WLS theme.

Used to love going Ten Pin Bowling but, like Brenda above, can’t remember the last time I did it - despite having a bowling alley locally! Not sure my shoulders would like it very much these days! xxx

I am trying to think what I would have done if I was still on the DT as sports really aren't my thing. I suppose it would have been hobbies. Maybe gardening or even cardmaking! You did well with this one excellent idea and beautifully executed xx

Great design, fabulous card.

Shirley Young said...

You have such great ideas Faith, it’s brilliant xx

Adorable card using the sketch, Faith. Love the bright and fun colours you've used. Your silhouette is amazing with detail cuts ... those letters are so small. xx

What a fun card, Faith and it would have been perfect for my eldest son who, in his early teens, always asked for a bowling birthday outing. You cased the sketch beautifully, and are a whizz with the Silhouette.
Hope you are well,
Hugs,

What a great bowling birthday card! Very creative with the bowling pins and love the colors! I used to bowl in a league and miss it. I plan to go for fun some time when my hip gets stronger. Great card, well done, Faith!!
