Man of the Match

Here is my entry for this weeks Make My Monday Challenge. I used some Papermania cardstock to make a concertina fold card and some sporting themed stamps which I've had for ages.  I coloured the images using my promarkers
 Then I made little origami sport shirts to match the 3 featured sports, giving them liquid pearl buttons and a waistcoat for the snooker player and finished off  with the sentiment mounted on some more card
 Close up detail of the shirts - I learned how to make thes from a Japanese student who stayed with us once and I use them quite often, you can make them into pretty blouses with a floral/patterned paper or in club colours if there's a team theme to your card.

  5. This is fabulous Louise - I adore those little origami shirts! I think a sports mad male would be delighted to receive your card.

    I'm delighted you've got your blog up and running, it's looking great and you've posted some gorgeous creations. I really like your scrapbook page too and definitely think it should be the first of many! Vicky x
