It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge! This month of challenges are some of my favorites! We will be using a sample card from the current Stampin’ Up! catalog and recreating it using either the layout, the colors, or a combination of both!

MATCH DAY
Soccer is all the rage right now because of the World Soccer Cup games being hosted in the US. However, these colors are from my grandson’s favorite jersey!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Daffodil Delight cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4-1/4 x 4-1/2 piece of A Wonderful Match DSP was adhered on the front.
- The jersey (with #1) was stamped with Basic Black Hybrid Ink on Daffodil Delight, colored with Timid Tiger Stampin’ Blends, and cut with the Match Day Die. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The soccer ball outline was cut from Basic Black cardstock and adhered to a 1-3/8″ Circle of Basic White cardstock. It was adhered next to the jersey.
- The greeting from Match Day was stamped with Basic Black Hybrid Ink on 1 x 3-3/4 piece of Basic White cardstock towards the top.
- The grass was cut with the die from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and adhered at the bottom of the greeting piece. It was adhered to the front.
- The pylon was cut from Timid Tiger cardstock using the die and added to the grass.
- A trio of Shimmering Dots were added to the background.

I realized after I finished this that I should have made it in USA colors! OK, check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.
