Today we are going to a ballgame with Jordan. come and join us. Us t-potters could always have more on our team...NEVER too many..;0)
I don't have any baseball stamps or papers, so I thought of making my own somehow. I thought If we are going to a game we need a bat and ball, so I made that into my card, we can hit some out before the game.
I have no silver paper , so I Drew and cut out a bat and painted it with silver craft paint. To keep it together I used black duct tape as the bats tape, wrapped it around the bat, and just cut the bottompart adn that way the top would stay together with the little tip on the handle. then just cut out a circle, sponged the edges to give it some character and drew the red lines and stitches on it.
It is NOt quite q Louisville slugger, but being we are heading to texas, I thought Jordan could be our TEXASVILLE SLUGGER...bad pun I know...lol...hope it works. Putting a nice sentiment and verse inside. Thanks for the visit...:0)
