Blog Hopping with Anya and Ian

When I saw that there was going to be an Anya Blog Hop featuring fun Anya and Ian images from The Greeting Farm, I knew I’d have to participate! I love these fun images and I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else does with them.

For my blog hop card, I combined the Anya from the Pretty Hat set with the Football Ian image. It took some masking and a few tries to get it just right . . . I colored my blended image with Copic markers and added Pink Shimmerz and Silver Pearls Liquid Pearls embellishments. I took a cue from the Pretty Hat set and added a velvet flower, embellished with a self-adhesive rhinestone, to the football helmet.

The rest of the card is pretty simple. I stayed with the sports theme of the image and went from there. I found some cardstock with a texture that reminded me of a football’s texture, but in a “girly” color, and used that to cover the cardfront. I created a pennant shape for the sentiment. The words “go team” are spelled out with white rub-on letters. I added a button, tied with twine, to anchor the pennant to the card.
