For this card I embossed orange with an alligator emboss folder as it seemed close to the texture on a basketball.
I then stamped the image adding some grey shading to it and cut the layers. I did an over the top with the image as the card is a bit smaller and it will still fit in an A2 envelope for easy mailing.
I would love it if you would check out my Blog: Shoe Girls Cards.
Thank you for looking!

OMG - that alligator embossing looks exactly like a basketball! Love the image extended beyond the base, and the shading on the jersey gives a lot of dimension!

That embossing does look like a basketball! Excellent eye to see and use that. Love the orange with the black and white. Very masculine. Great design and a great guy card.
