I needed a simple guy birthday card for my nephew so this sketch was perfect. The base is textured cs and a wide ribbon serves as the background panel. The helmet was stamped twice, colored with copics and silver leaf pen, and lifted on dimensionals. I dirtied the panel with sahara sand and some green dots. Done!
Thanks for viewing and commenting.

Woohoo, Go Eagles!!! (or Iggles as my Dad pronounces it)
I was born in Philly and raised in South Jersey so I'll probably be a fan for the rest of my life
Love your card!

I love how you did the edge of your panel with the dots and sponging. The helmet is really well done, too. I'm impressed.
(You are right about the house cleaning, btw!)
