A small group of us choose a fellow SCSer with a unique username, determine a theme, make a card for that person, and then send it to her. This month Cindy Haffner chose orangegymnut! We were challenged to make a card with orange on it and it had to have a gym theme.
Since I don't have any stamps related to sports or a gym, I borrowed this stamp set from a friend of mine. Basketball can be played in a gym, so I figure I'm covered. :-)
I stamped the basketball in Pumpkin Pie and then used one of my embossing folder to give it that dimpled effect. I adhered it with a dimensional above the net.
This sketch design is also for a challenge issued by OCCC, Our Creative Corner. Here's the link if you want to check it out and play: http://ourcreativecorner6.blogspot.com/

"WOW!" Is right!!!
Though I don't play basketball...my daughter was the boys basketball manager her sophmore and junior year. I was at every single home game supporting those boys (and my daughter's "spot" on the team). Black and Orange are their school colors too...they are the Tigers. This card brings back lots of memories and really makes me smile
I love what you did with the basketball, great idea! The whistles stamped on the orange c/s is so cute! I love the layout, the different demensions is great and perfect for the stamp set you used.
Thank-you!
