Happy Friday, everyone! Phew, glad to see the weekend here! My SIL asked me to make a graduation card for her baseball-playing nephew and I was thrilled to be able to use up some of the last bits of my Hey Sports Fan DSP! I used the FMS sketch:
And here we go:
His school colors are blue and gold, so that big gold starburst was a great start for the background. I added a starry panel flanked by a couple of diecut strips to mimic the stitching on a baseball, then added the center panel along with the "home run" ticket and sentiment banner:
And just for fun, I stamped and fussy-cut some baseball images from an old set called Have a Ball, along with some sentiments from Charming Sentiments:
Hope he likes it! And Cassidy happened to use this set last week when she made a card for her basketball-loving friend's 12th birthday:
Thanks for visiting today! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

ReplyDeleteYou both scored big time! I just love that dsp on your card, LeAnne, and the baseball stitching!
ReplyDeleteWas it Cassidy's idea to use the wood grain? It was a must-have for her basketball court!

This is the perfect graduation card for a baseball loving kid! I love the home run ticket and the background paper! Cassidy has made a fantastic card as well! Following in her grandma's footsteps! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
