Gymnast Newspaper Card

This card is A5 in size and is made using white linen effect card.

My sister asked me to make a card for a photographer called Eileen Langsley who she met during one of her volunteer sports events and who had given her a copy of her beautiful book Gymnastics in Perspective http://figshop.lx2.sportcentric.com/product_info.php?products_id=40

My sister gave me a few ideas and I worked round them.  I just love the gymnasts, which I I found on this wonderful free clip art site http://www.phillipmartin.com/ 

The images are  free if used for a non commercial purposes and are attributed to the artist Phillip Martin. It really is worth a look but please check the regulations first before using any of the available images

All I have done is make them up into simple decoupage layers to add a little texture and dimension.  The Visa logo was added to  reflect Eileen’s frustration with background advertising boards which often get in the way when she is taking her stunning pictures. http://eileenlangsley.wordpress.com/
