This is for the Twisted Sister Challenge.We are supposed to make a baseball themed card using our favorite teams colors. Well, I don't have a favorite team, but I went with the Kansas City Royals because none of the teams have lavender, and blue is second best.
I did have a great baseball image though! This is Sorrowful Slugger from Squigglefly. I colored with Copic markers and chalk for the sky and grass.
The sentiment is computer generated and then sponged with real red ink to look more like a baseball. the inside says
"Keep swinging and you'll hit 'em out of the park!"

This is so adorable. That little "Royals" batter boy is really bummed out that he didn't hit his ball "outta the park". I have a feeling he will do the next time he is up to bat. Love this cute card and thanks, so much, for joining the challenge with us. Always good to see you here.
