RED, WHITE AND BLUE AT THE DU2DS CHALLENGE!

Hi everyone on this beautiful sunny morning!
Here is my first DT card for Dare You To Digi Stamp Friday ChallengeHope you will join us this week - the theme is Red, White and Blue.  In case you hadn't heard, it's World Cup fever time (!)  but your choice of digi image does not necessarily have to be a football one. I have to confess I am not a huge footy fan, but I found this fabulous image called
"No Girls Allowed" at Squigglefly, and I love it. Maybe having a son and a daughter, and two grandsons with sisters, it rang a few bells!!
I have used Copics to colour the image, distressed the edges of the white and red card with scissors, (pity the red card isn't straight!), added a computer-generated sentiment under the Nestie aperture. Circles punched down the edge, with red and blue circles attached to the inside of the card - oh, nearly forgot - a touch of Glamour Dust on Tamara's shoes and belt!!!!
Look forward to seeing what fabulous creations you come up with - in the meantime have a fabulous weekend.
Love and Hugs, Sylvia xxxxx

Hi Sylvia

What a great image. I don't think you have to be a football fan to chuckle at this and it's beautifully coloured.
