Causing a Racket !

      I love this fun image from Scrapper's Delights, given to all who play in their Progressive Challenge this month.  What a great card she makes for a tennis fan!

     I colored with ProMarkers, cut her with a QuicKutz die, inked the edges, then found some wonderful Recollections dp scattered with stars.  The sheer and satin ribbon was perfect for wrapping the card front and tying a bow.  I kept it very simple because it's going to be mailed to a friend.

Tennis Star

     I love Fridays!  It means I get to share another fun card with a silly and delightful QKR Stampede image.  Our newest challenge starts today and will run for a week.  I've used "Playing Tennis."

     I colored the tennis star with ProMarkers and used water colors on the background.  I cut the image with a die from Spellbinders. 

     I found two scraps of paper in the basket, neither of them big enough to make the frame, so I cut each one (again, Spellbinders) and then layered them together on a diagonal to frame the image.  I printed the sentiment, hand cut it, and inked the edges before adding it to the card.  I used tiny gems from Stampendous for a bit of sparkle.

     Oh, you want to know what the sentiment means?    You haven't figured it out?   It was on a personalized license plate the first time I saw it.  Give up?  OK, how about "Tennis, anyone?"  lol

Love in Tennis

     Another Friday, another QKR Stampede "Anything Goes" challenge but, as usual, we also have an optional theme if you want to use it - "Any Sport with a Ball."   I thought "Tennis Duck" was a perfect image for that theme and grabbed him from the shop as quickly as I could.

     I printed the image and sentiment right onto the card front.  I used chalks and ProMarkers to color the image, then cut a blue frame with a Gina Marie die.  The frame is laid right on top of the image making it look like two or even three layers.  I wrapped jute cord around the card front and tied baker's twine around the cord.
