Hi Everyone,
While it's not golfing weather yet where I live, I know my Dad wishes that it was. He'll probably be heading to sunny Florida before the winter is over, so he'll get a small taste of his favorite sport before spring time comes :)
Anyway, this card was made with him in mind. Heck, I don't even like golf, but this sunny little scene almost makes me wish I did !
I used the set Golf-Green Pastures #189 from Sparkle N Sprinkle,
colored the image with Copic markers and sponged on some ink for the
sky and grass. I decided to paper piece the tree and shrub using the
same polka dot paper I used for the background and thought it would be
acceptable to use a bit of glitter (Evening Glow #1086 & Cloud Nine Velvet Glitter #GM2000)
to bling up the sun and cloud, even though this card is for a guy :)
It adds just the right amount of cheerfulness, don't you think?
I've had this golf ribbon in my stash forever, so I was happy to put it to use on this card and buttons are my go to embellishment for guy cards.
Thanks for peeking in today! Have a good one :)

Hi Karin, this card is just perfect for a golfer. The paper pierced tree and shrubs look very nice. And bling certainly adds more cheer. The buttons are very nice and the ribbon is awesome. I thought it was a sentiment.

So cute. Love the paper piecing.
Awesome card Karin! Love how you paper pieced the tree and shrubs from the background paper. Just the right amount of blingy cheer too!
Awesome card Karin, love how you made the ribbon into a "green", so cool! ~Diane
Cute! I would love to jump into this scene right now and I don't golf either. Your paper pieced trees are darling.
Great job on the paper piecing!!! Love the card - so cool and masculine at the same time
This card came out so awesome. Love the paper piecing.
