Golf!


This card I am not too happy with, but the person who ordered it from me was delighted with it. I was asked by a friend to make a card for a womans 50th birthday. Yep, no problem says I - then she dropped in...."on a golf theme"......argghh!!

I agonised for days about this one. I had an idea for some golf balls but I wasn't sure it would work.The inspiration for the layout of the card came from 2 cards that I got for my birthday from 2 very good friends of mine. I was amazed at the similarities between the two even though one is from England and the other from the USA. Anyway, one of my friends gave me this link and hey presto there were the very same thing I wanted to make and they looked fab, so I decided to give it a go.

So, the cardstock is bazzil bling, the pp is K & Co. Letters and numbers have been cut with my cuttlebug using the Olivia alphabet. The golf balls were cut using the bug and my circle nestabilites. I used photo card because it was glossy and then embossed it with the tiny bubbles cuttlebut embossing folder, but in reverse so they are dimpled. I also used the argyle pattern embossing folder and ribbon, gems and peeloffs from my stash.
