Today is Opening Day for Astros baseball in Houston, so why not celebrate with a card?! As I looked through some ideas I found this Starburst Sayings Stamp Set and I thought “Oh Happy Day” certainly expresses the feelings of baseball fans everywhere when baseball starts back up in the spring. I used Night of Navy card stock for the card base and added a fun layer of orange from the Sweet Taffy Designer Series Paper. The middle strip of Night of Navy is embossed with the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder and the Big Shot.
The center medallion is stamped with Night of Navy ink and then die cut with a Circle Framelit. That way it would fit on a Starburst Framelit that is the right size for this card. The starburst is cut from a Gold Foil sheet. To make the wording pop on the medallion, I stamped again in Pumpkin Pie ink and just cut out the word Happy to adhere over the blue popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
To give the card a baseball feel, I punched two Whisper White circles with the 1″ Circle Punch. Then I just drew on the baseball markings with Stampin’ Write Markers in Real Red and Smokey Slate.
