A Baseball Birthday - SUO Challenge #320 For the Kids

 This birthday card, for a male child, is similar to one I made for the craft show last weekend.  This show was cancelled due to a sudden severe storm that created havoc in its path.

Any child who loves baseball would love a baseball hat card. I did make it with a boy in mind, but make the hat pink, or leave it the way it is, and it could be for a girl as well.

 I use the "Hats Off" stamp set and coordinating dies as well as Coastal Weave 3D embossing folder.  The sentiment is from "Party Puffins"

The card base of Pacific Point Blue is layered first with Real Red card stock and then Basic White, which was embossed with the 3D Coastal Weave embossing folder.

The hat was die cut using the Hat Builder die with #1 stamped in Real Red ink, die cut and added to the hat front.

What's a ball game without a ball diamond?  A white gel pen was used to draw base lines and base plates on a  2 1/2" square of Garden Green card stock.  This was adhered to the left side of  the embossed piece of Basic White.  The hat was added to the right, slightly overlapping the ball diamond.

Three stars, die cut in Crushed Curry card stock scrap pieces, were added randomly around the hat and diamond.

The sentiment, from "Party Panda" was stamped with Black Memento on a strip of Basic White notched at both ends.  The edges were highlighted with some Basic Gray ink and a finger dauber to make it stand out a it better against the Basic White back ground.

Another die cut hat was added to the inside of the card.
