Have a Ball on Your Birthday!

  I know Thanksgiving is this week here in the USA, but with these fun new images from DRS Designs I just had to share some birthday cards I created.

This first card uses the new Strike 3 in 1 Bowling Designs image (214D). I cut the image apart so I could place the different images where I wanted and stamped them with Memento Black ink onto white CS, die cut with a Fawn Lawn rectangle die and then colored the images with Copics. I also stamped the Bowling Strike image (240H) onto white CS, colored it with Copics, and die cut it. I used my Misti to line up the word strike from the 3 in 1 bowling Design image and stamped it in Memento Ladybug red ink. Before putting the card together I decided to add some Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the bowling balls so they would be shiny and stand out more. Bowling balls are shiny, aren't they? I haven't been bowling in ages! Anyway, once the glaze dried I put the card together, using foam dots for the main image. I really like how this card turned out. Wouldn't this be the perfect birthday card for an avid bowler? My dad, when he was younger, liked to bowl so this will probably be his birthday card this year. 

My next card uses the new Ball on your Birthday greeting (207D) along with the basketball image from the 4 in 1 sports image. I stamped the basketball onto white CS, colored it with some Copics and fussy cut them. The background panel was embossed with a Sizzix Cobblestone 3d EF. I think it looks a lot like a basketball. The new greeting was stamped onto cream CS and die cut with a banner die. I also created a banner for the basketballs and popped them up with some foam dots.

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and find some time to get crafty. You can see all the new images here at DRS Designs,
