We have a new challenge starting at Cardz 4 Guys today, #316, and the theme is “sporting chance.” Anything that relates to sports will qualify. The gallery will be open until 3/5 if you’d like to play along!

Baseball season is starting soon, and here in Arizona we host the spring training games, so I thought a baseball themed card was a good choice.

The background of my paper was made by stamping the ball image randomly, then adding the red stitching with a fine point marker. The shading was built in the stamp so it really didn’t take very long to make. The sentiment came from the same set (Divinity Designs) and the bat was cut with a file on my Silhouette.
