Today's card is another male card, but this time for a 6 year old. The card was a commission and my brief was a birthday card for a six year old soccer mad boy. He is a big fan of the local Adelaide United team, so I was asked to include their colours.
I decided to make a soccer ball shaped card, and after a bit of googling to see how a soccer ball was constructed this is how it turned out. I used a hexagon punch to recreate the ball, which is not strictly accurate but it is the only way to flatten a soccer ball for a card. The word 'six' is popped up on some dimensionals.
I used the Adelaide United colours on the inside - white, red and blue. Their logo is a group of stars that are in a soccer ball shape, so I added the stars as the best approximation I could do!

Ink: Not Quite Navy, Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker
Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Real Red, Not Quite Navy
