Eat Sleep Play- that is the life of an active boy! I made this card to celebrate March Madness. I live in Kansas and basketball is HUGE around here!
I stamped the sentiment from Pink By Design Stamps "Got Game". I heat embossed the image with black embossing powder. I also used Black Soot Distress Ink to tint the edges of the paper.
I started the card by taking my kraft brown matting and using the the Sew Easy Stitch Piercer and traced a scalloped line. I hand stitched the line with white floss.
Next I cut the basketball from Sports Mania at 2 inches. I embossed the basketball using my Cuttlebug folder. I then inked the basketball with Spice Marmalade Distress Ink. I used pop dots to raise the basketball off the card.
I adhered my Kraft mount to the card base, completing the card. I hope you enjoyed this card! Make sure you leave a comment and follow me because I am giving away the Cricut Cartridge Calligraphy when I reach 1100 followers!

Hi Elizabeth! Just watched your Twilight themed mini-album, and loved it. I have a kit for making one, and can't wait to get started on it, but I want to finish a Wizard of Oz one I've been making on my own, first. I'm REALLY new to paper-crafting and scrapbooking, since only December, having only just made a few TP Roll Mini Albums, and started a Paper Bag one. My Wizard of Oz and Twilight ones will both be from envelopes... Anyways, I just wanted to say nice to meet you, and wish I could use all the file(s) you speak of but I don't have any of the tools needed for those kinds of things yet. Everything's cut by hand right now! Hope you're enjoying your weekend! ~tina
That card is sooo cute & I am NOT even a fan of the game!!!! Have a GREAT week ahead!!!!
