I stamped the basketball image multiple times with distress ink onto the smooth side of watercolor paper. Then I spritzed the balls with water until the color ran a little. Then I splattered a little watered down ink and stamped the net. I stamped and embossed one basketball and attached it to a mini action wobbler so it looked as though it were going into the net. I love the way it came out and I hope it will bring a smile to Anthony's face.

I love the way you did the bg basketballs - and then the center piece of the basketball and hoop -- Anthony will love this!!

This is such a fun card for Anthony. At first glance I thought WOW - you have a great piece of DP. Ten I read the description and see that you made it - even more fantastic! I really like the soft, spritzed look. Oh, yes, perfect sentiment, too.

The ball and the hoop and net is sort of what I first though of, but I had nothing to accomplish it with. you surely did though! This is a wonderful execution. Love the background! This really has an artistic feel to s sports card! Not a combination that happens very often!
