For inspiration I asked my dh what he would like to see in a Manly card - and sports was one of his suggestions. I found this Game Day stamp in the Mike's $1 bin (don't you just love those stamps?) I used the same Basic Grey paper as yesterday... the green from the Scarlett's Letter pack. I then measured out the yard lines for the football field and drew the lines and number with white gel pen.

I added a good luck stamp which I also found at Mikes. It had a Shamrock in the center between the words, so I dug out an old package of charms and found a football. I snipped the top of the charm off with pliers and attached it with a glue dot.

This is awesome...what a super way to use this stamp (I always look at it lying in the bin and wondered!)...
Very cool idea with the football field. Love it.
Another great manyly card. Love the "field" on the bg paper. Thanks for sharing yet another great card!
You are too stinkin clever! I would have never thought to draw the lines on the field. I need to practice my 'out of the box' thinking!

Very cute! Adding the football field lines with the gel pen is just genius!
Excellent!! You are the master!
Great Card! I am so glad you've decided to take the masculine challenge ... I can learn so much this week. I never would have drawn the lines in the field and would have been frustrated because it was missing something. Love the football over the shamrock too!
It's so nice to see something manly that doesn't have a background stamp that's argyle or plaid, although I'm sure you could make that look cool! Your work is wonderful and helpful to this veteran stamper cum new demonstrator. Thanks!
Very cute! I have a son that plays football and I love what you did with the BG paper. Thanks for sharing it!
You gotta love the 1$ Michael's stmaps. I just got a couple the other day too.
