Take Me Out To The Ball Game

"Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don't care if I never get back,
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game."
I love this adorable little Happy Hopper playing baseball. I knew it would be perfect for making cards for all my adorable great nephews.I was in Hamilton the other day shopping at The Memory Keeper and I came across this baseball cardstock that was priced at 40 cents a sheet. I immediately thought of the Happy Hopper “Great Catch” stamp by Stampabilities. I knew it would be the perfect background paper for this image. The images are colored with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. I also used Glossy Accents on the hats and baseballs to give them a 3 dimensional look. I love the way they turned out.For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game."

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
