Yay Nats!

Hello and welcome.  Sorry it's been a bit between posts, my health issues have been giving me fits. However, today I'd like to share a card I made for a friend who's a Washington Nationals fan.   The entire card is made using card stock scraps too.  Gotta use up those scraps you know.

I started out by stamping the baseball onto the actual card in memento blue Danube then cutting down the image panel and red layer to fit the smaller card before stamping everything else.  Once the pennants were stamped using MFP's retired Tailgate Party and then adding MFT's Wendy Alpha, I pulled colored them using copic markers before stippling Tim Holtz tumbled glass ink over and around them.  I then stamped the baseball, also from Tailgate Party in memento black onto more white scraps, cut out, then popped up over the main image panel.  As an afterthought, I highlighted both the lettering and baseball using embossing glaze pens.  The only other embellishment added, were matching blue brads.

Challenges entered:

Today's featured set is perfect for invitations for those backyard parties, arm chair viewing parties, scrapbooking, or encouragement for your local schools.

For my project, I went with the Keep It Simple Stamper method since my migraines were getting out of control again.  Instead of stamping my main image, I chose to use a BBQ die cut that was sent to me by a friend and paired it with the pennant banner stamp at the top of the card along with the GO TEAM saying.  After pulling each of the banners up a bit for added dimension, I stamped the football onto scrap white card stock, colored then cut it out before adhering with glue dots.  Presto!!  My card was finished.  So now I have one question for you:  Are you ready for some football??????  :)

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team blogs to leave some love for a chance to win today's featured set.
