Black and White Army! - just for you Shell!

Good morning blogfriends

Well I got to the end of this exciting week and now I have to settle back down to create something out of it all!  I decided to use this cute little footballer from The Paper Shelter 

- called Soccer Star - available here  for my DT card at My Time to Craft this week. 

 It is also a card for my footie mad nephew who turned 18 on Thursday.  He is an absolutely  mad Newcastle United fan so when I saw this image it just seemed perfect for his card - he appreciates anything black and white and not much else!

Also as our Crafty Mamma at MTTC has similar tastes 

-this ones for you too Shell hehe.

(I have to do something to get round you saying as I cheated for this DT card!!!)

The challenge over at

  My Time to Craft

this week is 

Embossing

I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of dry embossing - I only have four folders and two of those are Christmas ones!  But I do some wet embossing from time to time.  I had a tidy up and move around of my craft stuff a few weeks ago and now I have no idea where my heat gun is

 - should have left it alone - I know where I used to keep it!

So as I didn't really have anything to emboss with that would suit this card -I have to confess to doing a bit of a cheat - I used card that is already embossed - it is a Tim Holtz card with a heavy weave efmbossed on it - and it was the perfect colour for this card

This is what I did....
