Welcome to another Creative Knockouts Challenge. This one is sponsored by Imagine That Digi Stamps. I used Baseball Boy for my card. Three digis come with the set, the boy as you see him as well as a baseball bat and ball. After coloring the boy, I fussy cut around it and popped it out. I created the background using the bat and ball and some word art.
My husband takes our grandsons on a baseball trip every summer. They go to farm team games and minor league games in the midwest. This was the first trip for the youngest, so I made a card for them. Great memories!
Our challenge is using your favorite colors. I don't really have favorite colors, but what I do love is to use neutrals with a bright pop of color, hence the brown with the bright blue. Take a peek at the rest of the DT's work here and then play along with us.
