Good luck down under!


I had a card request for a 16 year old boy to give to his best friend who was emigrating to Australia with his family. They had been friends right through their school years and played football on the same team. So he wanted an Australian theme but also wanted their team colours so this is what I came up with.
The background is from Craft Artist and I stamped the Aussie words using alphabet stamps. The background wording was done on the computer. The image is from Charmed Cards coloured with promarkers. I added a google image of the Irish and Australian frags and embellished with a couple of boomerangs! He was very pleased with the card and apparently his Mum burst into tears. They are really going to miss him.
