Whiff of Joy GD - Football Ben

Morning everyone! I hope you are all well. I am still glowing from my time in the Spotlight yesterday on the Whiff of Joy blog, it was so lovely seeing all my cards over there :-) It's time for a brand new Challenge on the Whiff of Joy Challenge blog and the card I have to share with you today was made following this fortnight's theme which is a recipe of:

3 buttons, 2 papers and 1 ribbon

I have used Football Ben for my card with some papers from my scrap box.
One of the things I love about digis is that you get a perfect image when printing on textured card, I love the effect this gives so I chose some bright white canvas textured card to print Ben and then I coloured him in with Promarkers.

I layered my two papers up and stitched them with red thread before wrapping them with my ribbon and adding them to a Kraft card base. I then added a sentiment from the newly released Whiff of Joy set. The finishing touch was three lovely spotty buttons. I loved mixing the red and green with the black and white for this card. I normally shy away from this colour combination as I worry it might look a bit too Christmassy but I think it works really well for Boys's cards.
The Whiff of Joy Design Team have made some wonderful Projects to inspire you, please check out the Challenge blog for all the details!
Have a great Wednesday!
