Batter up!

Nothing says summer like baseball and this little guy could possibly be a Toronto Blue Jay in training!  The sketch is Jen's Sketch For You To Try for July - I haven't used one of hers in ages so was long overdue.


I stamped MFT PI Baseball Boy in Memento Tuxedo black ink and coloured him with copics. The pattern paper is Echo Park Little Boy Collection and I used some SU Pumpkin Pie for the base.  I had fun using lots of MFT die-namics: the Circle Stax 1 & 2, the Fishtail Flags (which I can't get enough of right now!), the Stacking Stars and the Star Stax.  All Star Stamp and die-namic was perfect for the baseball - it looks like he's ready to hit a home run!


I did the inside of my card too - stamping the little PI boy again and adding a Jumbo Squiggle border. Play ball!

Cheerio.....Leslie

WOW when you add color you go for gold! I love all the bright colorful papers you've chosen and the coloring on your mini Blue Jay looks fantastic! The star dies and baseball are the perfect ball themed adornments.
