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.

Thanks for swinging by. Take care.
