Bellarific Soccer Birthday Card

Happy Bellarific Friday!!! This week's Bellarific Friday challenge was a sketch...my favourite kind of challenge!

I decided to use Jackson the Champion from the Green Bean Baby line at Stamping Bella. This weekend we're invited to a friend's son's birthday party and it's a total soccer theme, complete with an afternoon 'tournament'. The family is Brazilian so I used colours from the flag of Brazil. It was only after I was all done the card that I realized I should have googled the Brazilian soccer team to see what their uniforms looked like....I was close, but the shorts and socks should have been blue...sigh. Oh well, I'm sure the birthday boy will still love the card.

Jackson is stamped with Memento Tuxedo black onto Bella's Bestest Cream paper and coloured with copics. I chose darker shades for the skin than I would normally use because I was trying to make Jackson look like the birthday boy. The patterned paper is from my October Afternoon Farm Fresh 8x8 pad and I paired it with Prism sunflowers medium and nautical blue medium. I had to add some stars for the birthday boy, who is the star of the show...so I used my MS border punch and two SU star punches. A corduroy button and two star brads that I dug out from the bottom of my stash finished the details.

Next week's Bellarific Friday Challenge is "Freestyle Friday" because Stamping Bella is having a release!!! So all you need to do to participate is create a card/project using any Stamping Bella images and email it to Em by Thursday, April 15th. Oh, and be watching the Bella Babes blogs next week for a few sneak peeks.   :)
