Play Ball

  It's that time of year!!!  Baseball woohoo, we love watching our 16 year old grandson play.  I also thought of my daughter in-law Jessica, she is the most dedicated "Baseball Mom" I know.  She is always there for every game and wearing the outfits to boot.  Just love her. This card opened my eyes to just what you could attempt as a newbie to card making.  

Play Ball !!

I will try to explain products I used to make this card for you so bare with me here.  The paper's are from the Reflections line.  The baseball I made from regular white card stock and hand drew the stitches and distressed it with Ranger's Distress Inks in Antique linen and vintage photo.  I used a collections of  Red Heart Yarn's tied around the middle and attached to the wire star.   The letter's were a collaboration of tags and my trusty art work.  I used a clip bar with the words "Fun in the Sun" painted on the front to hold the letters "PLAY".  I then coiled some 20 gauge wire to hold the letter for the word Ball.  I then attached the coiled wire with Baseball brads from Recollections.

I lined the inside of the card with a mixture of the papers used on the front.  The puffy baseball sticker is from the Recollections line.  The tag and words are from Paper wishes.  Thanks for viewing my creation and let me know what you think.  Remember still a newbie and any advice is just another branch on my tree of knowledge.  So help me branch out.  Have a wonderful day of crafting until next time.
