Husker Birthday Card

Hello all! I have a niece and a nephew who are in the marching band for the Nebraska Huskers, so when my nephew recently had his birthday, I knew what theme I wanted to use for his card! Here is the finished product.

The background patterned paper is from The Paper Studio's Boys Will Be Boys paper pad. I distressed around the outside of it with Scrapbook.com Leather ink. The Husker logo was traced and cut with my Silhouette Cameo and SCAL 4 software. The red layer is Oracal 651 vinyl which makes adhering it to the white layer a snap. That was popped up to the card base with foam tape. The brown cardstock strip was dry embossed with a folder that has tiny bubbles on it to mimic a football. Before gluing that strip down, I wrapped Cherry Midnight Trendy Twine around it three times and tied a knot in the twine as well. Once the brown strip was glued on, I used a variety of circle dies and punches to make the sentiment panel. That stamp is from My Craft Spot's Tiny Tags set and was stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink. It was also popped up with foam tape on the top and bottom edges of the circle. The finishing touch was a trio of red gems in the top right corner.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
