Crafty Secrets DT Challenge - New Products - Play Ball

Good morning!! It's time for another Crafty Secrets Design Team Challenge! This month our challenge is to design a project with some of the fantastic New products from Crafty Secrets. I used the New Play Ball stamp set from Crafty Secrets to design this fun Baseball card. This would be perfect for a little boy's birthday. To start I stamped the image using Rich Cocoa Ink and stamped on to Simply Smooth White cardstock. The I added color to the image using Copic markers.Next I stamped several of the images, added a little color with a red Copic marker and then hand cut the images. Then I used the Grand Calibur and S4-335 Star Circles #4 to cut/emboss the die cut shape. Then I inked the edges of all the piece with Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Inks.To create the background I stamped the star image with Lady Bug ink and then inked the outer edges with Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Inks.Here is a close up of the image of the little boy playing ball.I added some of the images to the bottom half of the card.
