Hi, everyone! This week's Inspiration Challenge is to find inspiration from the Christmas Tree Shops site....I chose this adorable baseball lamp for my inspiration. The red stitching on the lampshade gave me the idea to use some hand-stitching on my card. The stamps I used today are from the 'Baseball' Stamp/Die Duos set; the 'baseball' was cut from the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Circles Dies, matted with the ODBD Custom Circles Dies; a die from the ODBD Custom Stitched Ovals Dies set was used to trace the outline for the stitches; a small paper piercer was used to pierce the holes; some red embroidery thread was used to sew the stitches. Since I did go to 'Great Lengths' to add real stitches to my baseball, I will also submit this to the Fan Club Central Theme challenge for this month. Thanks so much for looking! Have a very blessed day!

That ball looks like it could realistically fly right off your card and off into the infield. Fantastic stitching. Thanks for playing in our Great Lengths inspiration!
