Poster: Redbugdriver

My grandson has his 15th birthday next week. He also plays baseball for his school and during the summer. He's a catcher & this is the closest catcher stamp I have! I used school colors. Image is stamped in Cocoa & colored w/ marker & WCW crayons. The b/g dp is kraft wrapping paper from Dollar Tree. Isn't it cool? I made some faux ribbon too b/c no way would he like ribbon on a card!!!
Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.

What a great image for a baseball lover - like your faux ribbon as well. How cool you used his school colors and cool paper you found at Dollar Tree (fun find). Great man card.

Great card for a young man/baseball fan...the faux ribbon is just delightful and cloever. Very nicely done.
