Football and sketch

I have 5 nephews and I've always enjoyed making cards for them. However, once they turn teenagers it gets a bit more tricky. I don't want the cards to be too childish and the beer and wine stamps are not fitting for many more years:)

My nephew Noah turns 13 this year and he loves to play and watch football, so I treated myself to this die from Dixi Craft and some football themed papers.  I used a MB stencil and a birthday sentiment stamp for the panel.


This card is for:
Allsorts - #566 Something Old (stencil), Something New (die)

Tuesday Morning Sketches - #548

    I agree that this is such a difficult age to create a card for, my nephew falls into this age group, your card has inspired me to look for a similar die but of a rugby player, love it

    Pia that is an awesome masculine card and will be perfect for your nephew. I find masculine cards harder in general. Now for my other role...thanks for joining in the Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenges, Lisa Lynn DT.
