The sheet i used can be found here: https://shop.obyd.co.uk/b/0IuoT

This One Sheet Wonder kit includes a backing paper panel, a main American football topper sheet, and a variety of sentiments. It’s designed to help you create a stunning American football-themed card. The team is non-specific, making it perfect for any NFL fan.

As the sheet has darker colours and i wanted to add lots of glossy accents and stickles i printed it onto a thicker medium choosing my go to 200gsm super smooth card for printing which can be found here:

The gorgeous red textured card is from Papermania from the capsule collection - i love the texture of it. I have the A4 set which contains 75 sheets - https://amzn.to/4cSeUkr i used to buy this from work it was always one of my favourites when i just wanted a nice textured card.

The beautiful navy polka dot ribbon is from my friends craft shop "Crafts of Thirsk" but there is a very similar one on amazon here which you can buy per the metre - https://amzn.to/47dkMDp

The silver mirror card that i used to mat and layer is from this bundle - https://amzn.to/4gavUFq

The cardblank is from Crafters Companion - https://amzn.to/3AQQOZZ

The faux red brads used for the corners were created using my hole punch - https://amzn.to/3yQkxBO and shaping it with a ball tool to make it look like a brad. I used some of the red card from above

I took this photo when it was wet so you could see it better it will dry flat as it dried.

I added glossy accents and stickles to the helmet and stickles to the topper on the sheet for some sparkle.

I used glossy accents - https://amzn.to/4cTYvMa

Stickles :

White - https://amzn.to/4gkgTku

Red - https://amzn.to/4gkgTku

I used my favourite tape pens for all of the matting and layering - https://amzn.to/4dmlTTM

I used Hunkydory foam pads to elevate the sentiment up of the card - https://amzn.to/3AJSRz4
