This is a silly little card for my DH. Our favorite college football team is going to the Rose Bowl. The team is the Univ of Illinois (the Illini) and the colors are blue and orange- thus the orange color of the letters. And although it is not my best work, I am sure he will think it is the best card ever.
I got my ideas from two stampers- Duckwaddlequack. Her card is here: Football Birthday by Duckwaddlequack at Splitcoaststampers.
And *talks*. Her card here: Football Congratulations by *talks* at Splitcoaststampers
I am submitting this to Sharon's stamp simply challenge to make a card that isn't square or round. And Sharon, I hope you won't ban me from future challenges with my silly non rectangular card!

Oh my gosh, I love it!!! It is so fun!!! I did a football on a scrapbook page a month or 2 ago that looks similar to this, but it was just flat, not a card -- oh, this is just too cute!!! I just love it and I know your DH will as well -- and NO, you are NOT kicked out -- you did the challenge perfectly -- AND you were VERY CREATIVE to boot!!! Thanks for playing!!!
