Today I've made a Card to THANK the Coach of my son Beckett's Traveling Basketball Team!! They just finished their 7th Grade Season and had a Party to CELEBRATE!! I LOVE the way it turned out!! I LOVE being able to Personalize Cards like this and the Sportsball Set is a FUN one for ALL things Sports related!! I started by Masking off the Area in the top 2/3 of the Card!! THen I Stamped and Embossed the Basketball Images!! I used Copic Markers to color them in using VR00. VR02, YR18 & YR68!! Then I Stamped and Embossed another Basketball and Die Cut it out using the coordinating  Dies!! I wanted to add a POP of Red and Grey as those are our Colors!! So I used the Starry stencil and applied some Candied Apple Red Distress Ink to place the Stars!! I then took the Seeing Stars Stamp Set and Stamped the Little Stars in MFT Grey Grout Ink!! 

I then added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters and finished off the design with some Star and Mini Star Silver Confetti for a touch of Sparkle!! Then I Stamped and Embossed the Thank You Speech Bubble using the Vanilla Verbiage Stamp Set and Die Cut it out using the Vanilla Verbiage Icons Dies!! I adhered the Panel to the Cardbase using Foam Tape and then adhered the Basketball and the Thank You Speeche Bubble using Foam Tape for some Dimension!! I LOVE the way it turned out and I KNOW the Coach appreciated it, as ALL of the Boys signed it!! 

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I CAN'T wait to see what you create for the Challenge!! 

Have a FABULOUS WEEK!!
