Here's my card for this weeks Teapot Challenge - the theme is sports!
I 'found' this great multisport patterned paper in my paper pile by K & Company - the section I cut for my card has baseball items on it since I wanted to use my baseball mit stamp - but it also has soccer, football and hockey images on it.
I embossed the card stock panel to suggest a texture like the leather on the mit.
I used a rectangle nestability to cut my sentiment/image panel and sponged it before taking it out of the die.
The sparkly letters and little starburst are Thickers.
This card will be going postal to Bobby - a 19 year old who suffered severe burns in an accident last November. He loves sports and has coached kids - so we're sending him some sports cards to help lift his spirits as he begins his long road to recovery.

Great card, and one that's sure to make Bobby happy! Love the baseball mitt stamp and awesome DP! We had the same idea regarding texture... mine was to look like a basketball or football. Super cool card!

Great card! Love your sentiment panel and the way you've personalized it for Bobby.
