Champion In The Making

 

Every now and then I come across a patterned paper of die set that I just have to have.  This card has both of those.  The paper is called Vintage Carnival and it is by Crafter Companion.  I love the vintage look that is throughout the entire collection.  The die sets are from Simon Says Stamps and they are Prize Ribbon and Festive Bunting.  

Of course, it is one thing to have great paper and some cool dies, but I needed to tie the two together with a stamp set.  I felt like this had a nostalgic baseball feel, so I decided to us the adorable stamp set by Pajama Crafter Stamps called Champion In The Making.  I think this little fella makes just the perfect focal point and the Fan Finger and Baseball Mitt balance out the whole card.  Everything about this stamp set is perfect from the baseball images to the sentiments.  I used two of the sentiments for the front of the card and one for the inside.  

I used Copic markers to color my little friend and his accessories in the following colors:

• W00, BG70, BG72 - blue gray
• W00, W1, W3 - gray
• E50, E34, E35 - hair
• E50, E51, E53 - skin

I am just thrilled with the way this card turned out.  Don't you think he is just so handsome?

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have been inspired to color a little champion yourself.
