You're a Super Star!

Happy Monday everyone!!!  I hope you all have a fabulous week!  I'm posting a quickie now for Karen's Doodles, but I'll be back again soon...

This image is called What a Catch.  As you can see, I've created a shaped card.  I decided to use the baseball glove in the image, so I cropped it and then made it bigger to fit the 'baseball' which I cut out by hand because my largest nestie wasn't big enough.  I cut out the glove by hand also to create the card base.  Yes, I did it all backwards!  If I knew what I was going to do from the beginning, I would have made my image fit the circle lol!!!

I've 'distressed' the edges of the baseball to give it a little bit of worn look and also to hide the imperfections of my hand cutting!  I used a Stampin' Up! marker to make the stitch lines.  I used my x-acto knife to make a slit in the glove so the baseball could slide in.  Embroidery floss for the stitching along the side and the webbing and then crossed it over on the front with the sentiment attached.  Simple : )

Karen's Doodles US Challenge is up and running for your viewing pleasure!  Why not give it a try this week.  I had a lot of fun coming up with this card for the challenge which is Dad/Masculine.  No pearls, no flowers, no lace... but I like it!!!  Show us your stuff : )
