Good Morning all,
It's Wednesday & that means it's time for a fab new challenge over at
This week we have a really fun challenge for you!
First of all here's my card!
The Challenge we have for you is Bingo!
I chose the diagonal, twine,step card,brads.
The image is Ted TightEnd
On the football field, he's a bit of a scary character but off the field,
he's a real pussycat!
I coloured him up with promarkers & fussy cut him out,
before mounting him on to the card with foam squares for dimension.
The card base was made using an A4 sheet of cardstock.
I used a Pop Out Step Card Template from
Debbie Lauder over at Craftystash
It's so simple to use & saved on waste too, as there is an elements sheet included!
The papers I have used were a freebie download by Shabby Princess
I think they are fantastic & they were just what I wanted for this card!
I printed the striped paper directly on to the card stock & printed
the template on the reverse.
I cut it out using a craft knife & ruler then embossed the fold lines
with an embossing tool & ruler.
I added the sentiment to the panels in my graphics programme.
The font I have used is called Collegiate & you can download it free from here!
I distressed all of the panels with a red inkpad before assembling the
card & added twine & brads from my stash.
I have to say I was really happy with the way this one turned out!
I hope you like him too! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Now eyes down, check out the other fab makes by the Dude & Dudettes
