Cricket Birthday

 


Our son and grandson are avid cricket players, so this will be for one of them when their birthday comes around.

I painted white card with stripes and patches of green metallic watercolour paint to look like a grassy oval, then splattered.  I masked a strip for the pitch and painted it a darker green.  The wickets I cut out of a scrap of painted card, the ball in red card.  The players are diecut from white card, colour details are done with Copics.  I traced a fence for a boundary and drew in the crowd with a black pen.  The sentiment is a Hero Arts stamp into green card.
