Two cards for the boys

Two men's cards today. Two more to make by Sunday. I'm missing my pretty flowers. As Norwich's colours are yellow and green I used them for this Charmed cards footballer image to which I added a 3D football. Papers are DCWV and Dovecraft. Image is Craftwork cards. I bought some football card about 3 years ago and used a strip here behind the image. I added another 3D card sticker from some old stash and a Sizzix cut swirl.
Challenges
Inspirational Card Sketches Fab sketch
Allsorts In stitches (faux stitching around the image and on the paper

It's that little LOTV bear relaxing in the garden again. Papers are DCWV. I tore and inked the edges and used my MS simple scallop punch. Thank goodness for buttons to use in place of flowers.

Two great cards Marianne, know what you mean about missing your flowers though, much as I like male cards I love the girly ones much more.
