A Baseball Birthday

Two happy things happen this week.

Baseball season starts and it is my hubby's birthday.

He loves baseball and nearly had a chance to play

professional but I guess it was not meant to be.

So I made him a baseball birthday card.

When I saw this sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches

I knew it would be perfect for his birthday card.

I had found this Arizona Diamondbacks a year or so ago so

I just used it as the background.  The baseball was cut using

my Cricut Explore and the CTMH Artbooking cartridge.

The happy birthday was cut and written with the Explore also. 

The panel across the card I embossed using a Teresa Collins

embossing folder.  That is it, it was a pretty simple card.

Thanks for stopping by have a great weekend and a

very Happy Easter.

Embossed Roses

Hello, back to share another card with you today.

I tried something new that I saw on Pinterest. 

I embossed the roses using a Teresa Collins Bella Rose embossing folder in my eBosser on Bristol paper.  The roses were then watercolored using

my Daniel Smith color dots.  This is one of those cards that look so much better 

in person.  The roses were covered with Wink of Stella so they sparkle.

I matted it on salmon colored paper and yellow to pick up the colors in the roses.

The sentiment is a Unity stamp that I stamped and heat embossed in white on

a cut I made with my Cricut Explore, added a few sequin and that was it.

Thanks for stopping by, would love to hear what you think of my card.
