Baseball Birthday

Hubby’s nephew is turning seven at the end of the month. He’s really into the Phillies MLB team so I based my colours around their current uniform. They live in Denver but I guess they’re true to their roots. 🙂 I hemmed and hawed over creating mountains for the background but I wasn’t feeling too creative. I was running out of time to get this card done and in the mail. Sigh. I sure wish I had a mountain stamp. Something for my wish list perhaps? Well, I’m sure you’ve all guessed that the little boy image is none other than Pink Cat Studio‘s Billy. I didn’t even notice that there was a baseball glove in the set, otherwise I would’ve used it. Oops, maybe next time! I used my black Sharpie pen to draw the stripes on the uniform. Those whimsical trees and sentiment are from Verve.
