Football Crazy

It's my husband's birthday today, (age undisclosed!) he's a massive football fan so I went with that as a theme for his card.  He also likes CAS cards, not my favourite to make, but he really doesn't like my usual fussy style, I guess he's just not a "more is more" kinda guy!
I got a chance to use some seriously geriatric stash on this one, the image stamps are old Docrafts SeeDees.  I masked off a strip with low tack tape, then randomly stamped footballs and stars to create a patterned panel.  I then used sentiment stamps from two Papermania sets to add the words.  The patterned paper is Papermania, It's a Man's World, to which I've added a yellow mat for a splash of colour.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
Moving Along With the Times - Birthday Boys
Shopping Our Stash - #136 - Cabin Fever
Creative Creations - Less is More
Ooh La La - #148 - Man Card
My Time to Craft - #232 - Use Two Images -  Football stamp and star cluster stamp
Totally Papercrafts - #204 - CAS

    Who would have thought that a football themed card could look so elegant. Love the CAS style and the touch of yellow really makes the design come alive. Thanks for sharing with us at Ooh La La creations.

    This is a brilliant card Wendy, your hubby sounds a bit like mine - definitely not a 'more is more' kinda guy. I bet he loved his card.
