September is the start of football and my guess is most teenage boys have at least a passing interest in that. Printed my footballer and colored with primacolor pencils blended with gamsol then fussy cut. Stamped the sentiment in Cerrulean blue and embossed with clear powder Then die cut BYU from royal blue metallic foil. I needed some kind of bg to fill behind my player and decided that numbers were a fun choice - after all there's all kinds of statistics kept during a game so stamped those several timed in milled lavender. Glued my footballers feet to the ground and raised up the rest of his body with mounting foam.
Inside says:
Go! Fight! Win!
You can do this!

Oh my goodness Ethan is going to love this. He is of the age that they start watching football or playing it so I am sure this will be very well received.

Terrific card for this young man. It is not and easy card to make and you did a terrific job. Like how your artistic mind works....love the idea of the numbers for your bg, and popping him up gives a nice depth. TFS

Awesome card, but then as a Texan don't you live, breathe, dream footfall right now...LOL...at least my Texas family does. Love the stripe of numbers for the bg -- excellent choice and look. Great coloring and design. So glad you added this sports theme for Ethan. I bet he will just adore this.
