For my card I used the hilarious Rubbernecker image "Edna Bowling". I stamped the image with Marvy black dye ink onto X-Press It cardstock. I colored the image with Copic markers and cut around the image using my Cutterbee scissors. For the time being, I set Edna aside.
I made the bowling ball using a Nestabilities circle die, cutting glossy black Cast-Kote cardstock. I then cut the smaller circles on the glossy black cardstock using the smallest Nestabilities circle die. I then mounted this with pop-dots onto a regular piece of black (non-glossy) cardstock, so that the ball appears to have finger holes.
I then conducted a Google image search for a line drawing of a bowling pin, manipulated the size in Microsoft Word, and colored the red lines with Copic markers and a Memento Tuxedo black marker.
Then, I began putting the card together adhering the pin and the ball to a circle card cut from a Nestabilities circle die. I then placed Edna onto the card along with the sentiment.
The sentiment is also from Rubbernecker. It is called "Bowling Ball" and is stamped with Versafine Onyx Black onto a panel cut with a Nestabilities die.

This is such an amazing, fun card! I love the bowler image and the fantastic sentiment. Love the bowling pin too and the holes in the big bowling ball. So creative!
