Game On

This week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge is to be inspired by a movie. With the Super Bowl just passed, football was on my mind and I went with a football movie, Friday Night Lights. It's also a book and one of my all-time favorite TV shows. Even thought the title refers to football, it's definitely not a football-focused show. If you haven't watched it, it's currently showing on ESPN Classic and worth checking out.

Now that my "advertisement" is over, here's my card. I used a football, die cut with stamped laces, as my focal image. I set it against a pair of papers--one patterned with tiny squares and the other with a subtle texture. The textured piece is machine stitched along one edge with a zig zag stitch to echo the football's laces. A good way to wrap up football season!

I stamped the "game on" sentiment from the My Favorite Things All-Star set in brown ink on a cream strip and accented it with a pair of copper brads. The panel is set across the two paper strips with the football attached at one end with a little foam tape.

Materials Used:
All-Star stamp and die set (My Favorite Things); Fresh Snow ink (Papertrey Ink); Rich Cocoa ink (Tsukineko); Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Close to Cocoa, and Very Vanilla cardstock (Stampin' Up!); Away We Go 6x6 paper pad (My Mind's Eye); copper brads (Recollections); sewing machine; foam tape
