I haven't participated in the CAS-ual Fridays challenge in awhile, and loved this week's challenge along with the design team's samples! (Waving at Dana and Laurie!!) You can see the challenge and participate if you click here.
My friends will wonder what has gotten into me when they see this card. After all, the St. Louis Cardinals beat my beloved Rangers in the World Series. And it was hard to take.
But this is a thank you card for one of my friends that went to the series to cheer on HER beloved cardinals. She brought me back a World Series shirt, which I thought was very sweet.
So, I used the beautiful cardinal stamps I recently received from a friend, and tried to make a casual card. It's hard to make a casual card with beautiful stamps.
I created the background with the baseball from Have a Ball, the small star from Star Prints and the smallest star from Fly Away. The background technique is highlighted for this week's Make It Monday challenge.
Thanks for visiting My Happy Place!

Lee Anne I love this card. I really love the fact that you could create this after your Rangers lost. Great job stamping the bg panel.
Great job, especially for a non-Cardinals fan. I love the baseball background.
Love this baseball card!
Nice card. From one TX Ranger fan to another "it just wasn't in the Cards for TX Rangers to win." I live in Plano which is approx 10 miles N Dallas. Where in TX are you?

Lee Anne- First let me say when I saw your card, I knew immediately what it was resembling simply because I am a BIG cardinals fan. Baseball wise - you are sweet to make this for your friend in spite of how things turned out for the Rangers. Cardmaker to another - you did a wonderful job with your creation - and I love how you were recreating the "birds on the bat" Nice job!!!!
How sweet Lee Anne to make this for your friend! It is perfect for the occassion!! Very creative!
