Baseball is a summer activity in the city. I have been to Busch Stadium a few times to view Cardinal's baseball in action. I remember sitting high in the stadium seats, seeing the fireworks. It was quite bright with the lights, so didn't see many stars, but I felt they worked well for this card. I love the image from Power Poppy and decided to use the digital version. I used Gina K Designs Layering Weight cardstock as it goes through our printer well and after the toner dries, I can easily color the image with alcohol markers. Fun challenge!
I am adding a Tea Potter challenge for a gentleman who loves baseball. While it doesn't have a tag on the card as the challenge shows, I think a baseball lover will enjoy this card and it has remained in my stash, so it is time to mail it.

The stars are perfect for this! Classic summer card! Great for ballplayers
I did not know about that paper weight from Gina K. Interesting! Thanks for that tip!
