Picket Fence Baseball Field Birthday

 Another card made for a friend for her grandson who plays baseball and is turning 12 - I bet you could tell that by looking at my card!?!

I printed a free image on the internet of the baseball field for the background.  I rubbed a brown inkpad over the die cut fence from Papertrey Ink and layered it over the background with foam strips.  I stamped the die cut bat, ball and mitt  and adhered them over the fence, as well as the die cut letters and sentiment.  I added the die cut numbers above the fence.

Instead of a folding card -  I adhered a die cut easel to the back so it can be stood up on shelf or bureau.

This card is so clever and orginal! I love everything about it. From the background to the letters on the fence and mostly the way it will stand up for all to see. Glad to see you here at Seize the Birthday Challenge.
