A Sporty Celebration

 

At Kate Hadfield Designs there are so many fabulous sets it is really easy to get inspired to use them. There are digital stamps which you can colour, coloured versions you can scrapbook or make into digital layouts. Papers, patterned overlays and doodles galore. No matter what your skill level there are so many goodies to play with.

One of the most fabulous things about being in this Creative Team is that we have free rein to make anything we want to using the sets in the shop. This is amazing for inspiring creativity as there are so many amazing packs to play with. I feel very, very lucky to be able to have this opportunity.

A really good teacher friend had the fabulous news that they have been promoted to the head of PE. What a perfect excuse/reason to create a celebratory card combining 2 really versatile stamp sets Let's Celebrate & School Sports.  Kate really has packs to suit every occasion in her store.

I started out by making a tall slimline card using a sheet of A4 card as the base and dividing into 3 panels. This enabled me to make a traditional celebration card with the champagne bottle, glass and sentiment from Let's Celebrate Stamps.

I coloured the image using Promarkers adding shading with coloured pencils. A gold glitter marker has been added to the foil on the bottle and bubbles on the champagne. I added some star gems in the background and doodled borders with a fine tipped grey pen.  The label is blank and id the perfect place to add some personalisation.

All panels of the card have a patterned card stock with gold foiling which is a patterned file folder I found in The Range. I loved the design and thought it would work well on cards. I always look for supplies in unexpected places!

The middle panel is dedicated to the sports. I am not entirely sure what sports she teaches but going back to my school days hockey, netball, basketball, football were all popular so I thought I would be safe with the ones I chose.

The top image was made with the basketball hoop and I placed the ball so it was just about to pop in. The digital stamps have a white fill background so it is easy to place them in this manner in a basic digital program ( I am on a Mac and use Affinity Designer)

The centre image is the trophy, a trainer and a whistle. I am sure we all remember PE teachers and their whistles.....

The bottom image is 2 hockey sticks and a ball. 

This is a close up of all the stamps together. The back panel has been left blank for the hand written sentiment. I gave this card with a celebratory bottle of Prosecco and both were very well received.

Over at Kate Hadfield Designs there is lots going on. Kate is really generous with her freebies which are readily available. If you sign up to the newsletter you get access to an extra subscriber area the Doodle Den where there are loads more freebies. There is a gallery full of projects by the Creative Team and customers and so much inspiration for crafters and teachers. I would highly recommend you pop over there and join in the fun.
