Ready for the next set???
This one is called -- Play Ball! And, the goal is to honor one of summer's favorite pastimes! It happens to be one that our family will be deeply involved in all summer long. This 4 by 6" set illustrated by Marcella Hawley has so many fun things -- I can't wait for you to see this set in its full glory! It also has a handful of fun mix-and-match sentiments to celebrate the "sluggers" in your life!
On to my creation!
For my card, I have to say, I kept seeing a bit of a jersey on the front. So, a played around with my Silhouette Cameo and created this little number. Since my daughter's uniforms are sleeveless, I decided to keep the uni on the front sleeveless too! After I got the base of my card cut and set on to paper, I used a circle die cut to create the softball. This set comes with that fun stitching and so -- you can add it as an accent or do like I did and make your own softball! Using a grungy background stamp, I stamped on some Antique Linen Distress Ink to rough it up a bit and then stamped the sentiment inside the fun banner in this set and added a splash of color with some Copic markers (R24, R27, B32, B34, B39, E41, E50)! Now, this card is ready for any sporty birthday girl or guy in my life!
Here's a closeup!
And speaking of little sluggers, I found this one of my DD waiting for the batter at her position at Short Stop. Look at that game face, will ya? ;-) This photo was taken a few years ago, but she's still at Short Stop and looking forward to a handful of summer tournaments!

You really paid homage to the vintage feel of the set in the most wonderful way....right down to the dirt smudges on your baseball!
