My Brother is 50 !!!

This time a card for my big brother who is turning the BIG 50 this month.
 
Using the Everyday Cricut Cartridge I used the images from the Basket Ball section, I cut a base body and an additional head and appropriate hair style and colour to match the recipient of the card. .

The face was stamped on to the head part only using Sizzix faces stamps, this was stamped again onto white copier paper. The eye sections were cut out and glued to the head section, the head was fixed to the body using 3d foam to give a slight layered effect.

The bag and water bottle were cut out in two different coloured cardstock and cut and glued together.
The shirt was cut in black and white card stock and the white section used to create a striped effect to match the running top he wears. Plain black shorts  and shoes were cut from black card and socks from white card. 

The number 50 was cut in white card stock and cut from a black circle using the Cricut Gypsy. The white number was fixed into the negative circle.

The racing track was create using the Cricut Gypsy, a circle shape was selected initially and the height and width changed independently to create an oval, this was copied and re sized 5 times to create a lane effect. the middel oval was cut from green cardstock representing the middle of the track and field area.

A personalised message was printed amd matted onto black card stock. The racing track was fixed to a light blue card, which was then matterd onto black card and fixed to the base card.

The man and his accessories were fixed using 1mm 3d foam pads.
