Anyone For Tennis ?!!

  
Hi

For today's card I used one of the stamps from the Magnolia Summer Club Kit., 


 I love this image of Edwin playing tennis.  Do you think he'd win at Wimbledon? 

Of course, I coloured the image using my Copic Markers.  Here's a close-up. 


I cut the image using a Large Nestie Rectangle and left some of the image overhanging the die cut.  You can see a video tutorial showing how I achieve this HERE.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges: 

Just Magnolia - Anything Goes
Dream Valley - Ribbons 
Stampalot Challenge - Anything Goes
Copic Creations - Colouring White Clothes



RECIPE:

Image: Tennis Edwin
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Colouring Medium: Copic Markers
Papers & Card: From my stash
Tools: Nesties Large Rectangles with Sizzix Big Shot, Paper Trimmer, Martha Stewart Edger Punch
Embellishments: Ribbon, Twine and Pearls from my stash.  Button from Stampin' Up.  Tim Holtz Adage Ticket.



Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope you like it.

Hugs
Penni

A super card Penni - I guess that must be Nadal and not our own Andy.
