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.
