Home Run

Happy July 1st from Morgan's Artworld Creative Team!  We are posting today with another great group of inspirational cards using Morgan's images and opening the July Blog Challenge.  I do hope you will visit to see all the team member's cards and add yours in for the challenge too!  

For my Design Team card, I've selected Morgan's 'Sport 13' image since Baseball is my favorite sport.

 

I went about this image a bit differently.  I sized the image to just over 4" tall and as normal, printed it on 110# Neenah cardstock.  I used my Copic markers for the coloring and have referenced them below.  After completing the coloring, I fussy cut him out leaving a tiny 1/8" boarder and set him to the side. 

Then I went online in search of a digital background of the baseball diamond, baseball field, or some similar setting. After trying several, and a lot of sizing and resizing, I decided on this design.  I printed it in a 6" square size to allow space for moving the image around to the best position.  I also made the banner sentiment separately so I could match the background color.  

I wanted to use a Kraft card base and settled on a 5" top fold.  I added a piece of green cardstock for the mat and trimmed the image down to 4 3/4" square.  The 'Sports 13' image fit perfectly across the home plate.   

I added a layer of foam behind the sentiment and trimmed the ends, then secured across the right top corner.  Lastly I added the black twine and a baseball round top button to complete the Baseball Birthday Card.
