This is my card for alpha challenge round 18 letter I - inflatables. I was going to use a balloon, but then my mind wandered to other inflatable items - tires, pool floats, footballs (remember Deflategate)... So you can see which way I went. I included some sports equipment that is not inflatable just because it fit the scene.
I die cut the basket, then embossed it and sponged over it with vintage photo ink. I stamped all the sports equipment, punched out the round ones and fussy cut the rest. Then I had to decide how to fit everything in the basket. Before putting the card together, I stenciled the background and added the faux wood (which was in my stash). I made the banner and added that to complete the card.

What a fun sports themed card, Melody. I like your stamped background and the faux wood look and like the assorted sports items. My girls, who are not into sports at all, refer to them as sport-balls.
