Take me out to the ball game....

Well even though the season is more than half way through, I'm quite passionate about following our Texas Ranger's Baseball team. They went to the World Series last year and lost, but they went. That's all that matters. And it looks like their well on their way again this year. My fingers are crossed.

When I saw that there was #206 BASEBALL TILDA in the "Winner Takes All" collection I just had to have her.

You will notice on my sidebar that I have two links for this collection. The first is for the Mini images and the second is for the full sized collection. Diana at Magnolia-licious, has the most complete collections and the best service. She offers in-store credit with purchases which you can spend now or save up and use it in one big shop. Please pop on over to her shop to see all that she has to offer.

Now, on to the card I made. I started with these papers from my stash and I think their from MME but I'm not really sure since I have cut most of my papers into 6X6 pieces. I found cardstock that matches perfectly and got busy pulling my card together.

Here is Baseball Tilda all ready to hit a home run! With me she already has...



I must point out that I used chandelier glass as part of my flower spray but I also add three individual ones to the edge of Tilda's panel. That represents 3 ball/strikes.

A good closeup on batter #1...



A nice view of the flowers. I used the silver ends from the chandelier glass to make some curly ques to add to the arrangement.



A side view...



The inside upper panel of the card. I used chipboard flourishes which I colored with my copic marker and then sprayed with Pearl Perfect Pearls Mist.



I've seen this done on several other cards where you stamp the image again on the inside but just leave it uncolored. I thought I'd give that a try here to see if I liked the effect....the jury is still out on this one!
