Cards for Men - Challenge Twelve "Fathers Day"

Well here we are at challenge twelve and its amazing how fantastic and talented you ladies are who take part in them, and the last one although not so many of you entered the standard of work was brilliant.
I do so hope that you will take part in this fortnights challenge we are being sponsered by the lovely Janet Roberts of Pink Gem Designs:-
and Janet has kindly offered one of her fabulous stamps as a prize this gorgeous Dina image,
she is such a sweetheart and will be a great stamp to add to any collection. Janet has this to say about her company http://www.pinkgemdesigns.com/catalog/ :-
We design & stock a wide range of cute & whimsical clear polymer craft stamps and downloadable digi stamps and also stock other crafting essentials including acrylic blocks, inks, Promarker pens, nestabilities, stamping packs and embellishments.
All the stamps on our website are manufactured from original images drawn by Janet Roberts from Pink Gem DesignsOur stamps are manufactured by a specialist polymer company in the UK from high quality crystal clear polymer
And this is my card created for this challenge which is title "Fathers Day":-
Ive used this image of Jack from Pink Gem Designs playing football, and Ive stamped him onto white card and then coloured him with my promakers as they have a better red than copics. After cutting it out with my circle Nestabilite die, I used some red inkpad to distress the edges, then mounted it onto red card, the sentiment was created by myself on my computer and printed using the Go Beckham free font, then mounted in the same way as my image.
The card is a 7"x 7" white card with a first layer of red card, and Ive used three of Donna's new papers from Bearly Mine designs, the first one is a red spotted design and on top of this I have layered up two more of her papers a striped and a check paper in blue and various other colours in the strips. I then mounted my image in the centre and my sentiment at the bottom on the right. To finish of I have stuck some buttons at the top on the left around the image.
I sincerely hope that you will take part in this fortnights challenge and then go and visit the rest of my design team at Cards for Men and see what fantastic cards theyve created for this challenge.
