A Very English Summer

There is something quintessentially British about cricket and crown green bowling. In my mind the later is the reserve of the more advanced in years, a gentle afternoon activity in the summer sunshine. Oh how wrong was I! There is a growing number of younger people taking up the sport including my niece's fiance at the tender age of 30. This is the card I made for him.

The image and the backing papers are all from the Work and Play #4 collection. The green mat for the image is a piece of  parchment paper printed with a green paper from the Satins collection that I had left over from an old project. The bowler image has been fussy cut and mounted on this piece.

    Great card Pippa - and just perfect for a bowls player. Gosh your colouring is fabulous too!

    I'm not sure but i think this is your very first time playing along in the Snippets Playground. If so, can you just add a little comment saying so as I always welcome our new Playmates. I already noted you're playing for the prize BTW - good luck!

    Hugs

    Hi Di
    It's not my first time, I used to be fairly regular at the playground but have been away for some time. I only came back again recently so this is my second visit in some time. x
