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.

Super cute Penni! Your coloring is delightful, love that Edwin is wearing his Tennis Whites! The embellies are so appropriate for a not girly card and I love the green!
