My favorite sport has to be soccer. I played it for years growing up and the sport is finally gaining some popularity in the US. It's amazing how supportive people are of our local professional soccer team. Go Sounders!
So it made sense to use Soccer Ian from The Greeting Farm for this VCMP challenge of making a sports themed card. You can use any sport, of course, and there are a lot to choose from! I didn't realize how many images I had featuring sports until I went looking for little Ian.
Coloring him with Copics was fun since it's been ages since my pens have seen any action. The DP is from a Recollections pack I recently picked up. The paper is thin, so I only use it for layering on top of good cardstock.
I hope you're having fun playing along with the VCMP! And I've got some blog candy for you and two ways to win. I will give one to a random commenter and one to a random challenge card. One is a cute soccer themed stamp set and the other is a new 6x6 pad of Mistletoe Collection from Bo Bunny. You have until Monday, September 3, at 9pm Pacific time.
Have fun playing along and I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
Update: the blog candy winners will be chosen on Sunday, September 9, at 9pm Pacific time.

sports was a bit of a challenge for me so I kept it kinda simple
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the card -- your coloring is so well done and the puffy paint is a nice way to add a little of that pizzazz!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration to dig into all that basketball stash I've been holding on to for years. :)
Wonderful coloring on Ian! Football is really my fav...but your card inspired me to make a soccer card. Thanks for hosting a great challenge!
ReplyDeleteGreat challenge! I struggled with the theme but then remembered my stash of Sally Foster wrapping paper samples. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I don't do sports very often so this made me get out some neglected stamps.
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing the challenge. I wasn't sure I had a stamp that would work but I found one I bought when my daughter was playing basketball and never used.
ReplyDeleteI've never made a sport card before, this might be fun. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a few avid skaterboarders in the family. A folder in the back to school section at Shopko inspired the use of the plaid and silhouette.
ReplyDeleteThat will make a great card for a teenager, Cherie! Thanks for hosting this challenge- it will be a good one for me because I rarely make sports cards.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great challenge Cherie. It's not the type of card I normally make. Thank you for making me think outside the box!
ReplyDeleteHi Cherie! Thanks for hosting this challenge. I love your card! The Greeting Farm soccer player is so cute - love how you colored him and I really really like the second circle layer matching the crosspiece. That looks fabulous! Hope you are enjoying our sunny weather!
ReplyDeleteAdorable image! love the colors you used in this card! Very cute!
ReplyDeleteI love your soccer card! Soooo cute!!!! Thanks for this fabulous challenge!!!
