The Sweet Stop Sketch 177

Hello Friends,

I wanted to join in on the Sweet Stop's sketch this week . . . here it is:

When I looked at this card, my first thought was to make a fun card for my son's soccer game.  I have to say, he just adores Cocoa!  He often asks me to print out some of my digital images so that he can color them.  (And yes, his team is called the Blue Jedi, and the colors are blue, gray, and yellow.)  I am also entering this into the Open Design Team Call . . . so wish me luck!  :)

Go Blue Jedi!

I had to print the image out twice, and paper piece the soccer ball--because of course soccer balls have to be white and black!

Stamps:  SNSS Cocoa Loves Soccer (Digital), Sentiment (from my computer, font is CK Evolution)

Paper:  Soft Stone (PTI), Sahara Sand (SU), White (Michaels), Yellow Chevrons (Jillibean Soup), Blue Polka Dots, Stripes, and mats (Echo Park)

Accessories:  Black/White Twine (LSS), Copic Markers

Thanks so much for stopping by, have a wonderful day!
