Diesel's Basketball Birthday card

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made this card for one of my son's friend who loves basketball. I googled for basketball images, printed it out and then used a circle die to cut it out. I doodled "bouncing" marks. I used a Batman style font for the sentiment.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Thank you from the team card (All Dressed Up image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

A lady I know requested a thank you card from her son's soccer team to a kind man who donated some money to their club. I thought this was the perfect image (from All Dressed Up) and she loved it! It's always a bit daunting to make a card that's been requested rather than create whatever you feel like, do you get like that? I always worry it might not be what they expect.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper -  anything goes

Creatalicious -  anything goes with optional twist: Halloween

Life's about Basketball card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have been busting to colour this image for some time now as I love her sassiness and sportiness. I cropped the image before printing so that it was more of a portrait shot.
