 | | I made this card for last week's Teapot Tuesday Challenge. Susie is our hostess and the challenge is "Arman of Avalon" which is a fantastic feel good story. Suggestions were fantasy, food or sports for card ideas. All great suggestions, but I was stumped - big time. I kept thinking how Arman was a super star for being the kind of kid he is and it finally hit me that I could use a baseball theme because I have this really old SU stamp set with a baseball. The bat was stamped in close to cocoa, then I stamped over it in chocolate chip with a woodgrain stamp and fussy cut it out. The baseball mitt was stamped in chocolate chip on brown suede paper and fussy cut out. The baseballs were punched out with a 1/2" circle punch. I asked my husband what baseball team in Florida is closest to where Arman lives, and he gave me these colors for the Marlins (I believe). I hope this is not an enemy team for Arman. I was not sure I was going to get a card made for this challenge because I am not a sports person, I do not have fantasy nor food-themed stamps, but in the end, this was a lot of fun to do so thank you for the great challenge Susie, and thanks for looking today. ~Karen. |
