Dunderton Academicals RFC.

Wow its Sunday morning again already! These weeks are flying by too quickly. Today Im showing you my DT card for over at Dr Digi using  Dunderton Academicals FC and his Balls. I used the balls to change the image from a Football player to a Rugby Player.

I'm trying to get ahead and make some Fathers Day cards ready for 21st June. I made this one with my Dad in mind - Who played rugby well into his 50's. Now at 70 - its a more sedate affair of Bowls! I have many happy memories of days spent hanging around the rugby club watching Dad play whilst the Mum were in the club house cooking up Pie and mash. I've made this card in the team colours and Derek looks more like my Dad today rather than back when he was playing!

I cut the image using Spellbinders Dies which I mounted on to the Bazzill Green stripe using the large Nestabilities. I cut a strip of Bazzill Black stripe glossed paper and stuck this to the side. I used homemade enamel dots in co-ordinating red and green and added the letters DAD using Doodlebug stickers. I also added a little glaze to his glasses to make them shine.

I used these Promarkers & Flexmarkers on Derek Dunderton -
Skin - Antique white, blush, soft peach, coral & Spice.
Shirt - Red, poppy & Cardinal Red / Forest green & apple
Shorts - Ice Greys
Shoes - Warm Greys

Grass - Meadow green, Forest green & apple

I'm so very ready for Summer!

I am willing the Sun to come out by creating this card! I am ready for Summer & the veg plot is def ready for Summer - enough of the rain already!

So I'll keep making bright and sunny cards in the hope that the weather warms up very soon.

I made this card using Dr Digi image - A Dunderton Abroad. I wanted to go with his tropical shirt and suitcase somewhere exotic. It as either that or I went retro British and had him on a traditional Pier - Maybe I'll do that next time. This Image reminded me of my Dad with his socks and sandals - think I'll use it for his Fathers Day Card!

For this card I used Simple Stories "Goodday Sunshine"collection. The Sentiment sheet is cut from a 12x12 paper and mounted on white to make it stand out a little. The sticker top right is from the embellishment collection. I die cut the Palm Tree using a Sizzix die and more papers from the collection. I used Promarker in bright green to add some texture to the leaves. I added some gems in cor-ordinating colours as I thought it needed something else but didn't know what to go with. I thought these gems would evoke the idea of the sand and sea. I added some glaze on to the Sunglasses and the camera lens. 

I used these promarkers to colour the digi image - 

Shorts & tash -  Warm Grey 1,3 & 5

Skin - Spice, Coral, Soft Peach, Blush & Antique White. 

Sunglasses - Ice grey 1 & 5, Black & Egyptian blue.
