I was fortunate enough to win the House Mouse & Friends Challenge twice recently, and one of the prizes was a gift certificate to the House Mouse store! As soon as I received the prize code, I ordered some new mousey stamps and they arrived in 2 days!! I decided the time was right to get one of these "great catch" stamps for myself since my friend Donna makes the most adorable cards with this image! I colored him with Copics, adding fluorescent inks to the baseball cap. The sentiment is by Simon Says Stamp - another great stamp set I won! The die cut is SB labels 25, and I embossed a piece of brown cardstock with a diamonds in the rough embossing folder by CB. The dsp is by K& Co and has baseball words all throughout, with the word "catcher" at the very top. I matted everything with teal cardstock and added some blue & yellow star gems for the final touch. Thanks for the inspiration Donna, and thanks to House Mouse for the great prize!! Thanks to Simon Says Stamp for sending me such a fun stamp set too!!
This card is for the House Mouse & Friends Challenge HMFMC146 - make a Father's day or masculine card.
That's it for me - 2 posts is enough for one day :)

This card is the best I've ever seen with this stamp. I love how bright and colorful it is. Nice how you used the stars end the embossing with the stars. That b/g paper is ideal and really adds to the cheery feel. Neon hat- great thought and I love that sentiment. Thanks for the shout out and I'm glad you won both times at HM&F- you truly deserved both wins. Your cards were phenomenal, but then again I think all of your cards are phenomenal. It's raining to beat the band here today but I'm working all day so that's all right with me. Enjoy the weekend.
This is a fabulous card, I love your beautifully coloured image and great papers.
Thank you for joining us at House Mouse & Friends.
