All Star Boy Card [PDCC #133, CFC #54]

All Star Boy Card



My oldest son is really into baseball. In fact, his 8th birthday party next month will be a baseball-themed party. Tonight I ordered 2 dozen real baseballs that we'll use to write the invitations on. Crossing my fingers that it will turn out similar to what I have in my head : )

I'm a little worried how he'll be when the season is over. I thought it would be nice to give him a card at the end to let him know how proud I am of him. So this is what I made tonight.

Inspiration comes from the challenge at The Play Date Cafe to use the following color scheme:



Also entering this in CASual Friday's Man, it's Casual Friday challenge to create a manly card with designer paper. None of my papers jumped out at me to use with this color scheme, so I made my own background paper. I'm hoping that me being a "designer" of cards makes this a "designer paper". A stretch, for sure : )

Thanks for looking!

Supplies used:

Martha Stewart Background Stamp
A Muse You're A Champ Stamp Set
PTI 1 3/4" Circle Die
