The Golfer


Being home these last two days has been a wonderful way for me to get a little alone time in my craft studio. And I really needed it! Today I made this quick and easy golfer card with an image I had colored about a week ago. The image is from Mo's Digital Pencil and I colored it with Prismas and chalks. I then ink-sponged the edges and then cut the corners to add the small pearl adhesives. When I colored the image, I was at my parent's house and really had to take a leap of faith that I had DP that would match. Fortunately, I did so everything worked out. I embossed some white cardstock for the large circle to give it a little texture and voila! Quick and easy card.

Love how you did the circle behind the image, looks just like a golf ball. Super cute masculine card. I'm trying to get one done for the challenge but not sure I'm going to make it.

Great Job!!! I love the golf ball done w/ the embossing plate! Awesome! I have a few of these images that I have yet to color. Gotta get on that! I love the 'sun' beams in the upper right too!
