Well, to me jumping jacks is exercise, but I remember playing jacks when I was younger - much younger! One of the rounds was to toss the ball, jump a jack & pick it up before the ball hit the ground. So I found some clip are of jacks, punched a red ball (we used to use an old golf ball - better bounce). These jacks printed light, so I colored with dark Smokey Slate Blends. Thanks for the memory.
Thanks for stopping by.

Oh mf! This is wonderful!! I used to play jacks a LONG time ago too. We used a RED small rubber ball, and you had to be quick and pretty deft to do it!!! Mom was her school champ!! How clever of you to find some jacks and color them!!!

Your jacks look so realistic. You used an old golf ball? Interesting. I usually see jacks with red rubber balls, I don't know why though. A fun nostalgic card.

Great card for the challenge. I didn’t realise what jumping jacks were until I saw all the cards in the gallery. Happy day
