The Orangeman Cometh

I have a friend who shares my birthday, so I usually don't have any problem remembering to send him a card.  But for some reason this year it just didn't register in my mind---perhaps because I'm planning to skip my birthday this year and be 29 again.

Thankfully my brain finally kicked into gear.  I used some baseball-themed stamps from Artistic Outpost and the color-scheme of my friend's college alma mater to create this card.  For kicks I think I'll send him a box of Cracker Jack with it.


Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great Monday.

P.S. for my overseas friends:  Cracker Jack is a snack consisting of caramel popcorn and peanuts.  Back in the day it was a traditional snack at baseball games.  Each box contains a small toy "prize" (I always like the kiddie tattoos!).

Supplies:
Stamps: Artistic Outpost; navy blue cardstock by Bazzill; orange cardstock unknown; whisper white cardstock from Stampin' Up; Archival jet black ink; Prismacolor Premier pencils; odorless mineral spirits; white twine; pop-dots.
