A friend of mine asked if I could make a birthday card for her 12 year old niece who loves soccer. That's a silly question, right? Wow, today's color challenge from Barbara and this week's Mojo Monday (http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/) sketch combined for a perfect card for her!
I started with a coloring page of a girl playing soccer, but I took the ball out and blew it up so I could pop it up a little and make it kind of come out of the card and I decided to make the flower element of the sketch a little starburst with a "12" in it. I die cut the ball and the large circle for the girl and colored them with my Spectrum Noirs. Then I drew a circle on the field with white gel pen. Found some fun DP for the strip of the sketch and matted it on gold glitter paper. Popped up the ball and the 12 with foam squares.
I love it when a plan comes together.

Your soccer player appears to be amazed at what she just did....perfect way to showcase the ball! I like the bits of pretty gold and the stars in the dp~
