You Gotta Know When to Hold ‘Em, Know When to Walk Away…

…When the design is done.
This is a birthday card for my niece. She is a great soccer player, always making at least half the goals of the game. So, when I saw this stamp on clearance at Michael’s I picked it up thinking of her. The background circle stamp is from Hero Arts, I picked it up in Branson at the most amazing rubber stamp store. I used a yellow cat eye then lightly hit the edges with the hot pink.
If it was for anyone other than a kid I’d be a little disappointed though. I was going to title this post, “It’s not over till it’s over” because last night I thought I was done, but couldn’t sleep because it needed some doodling around the nine to give it some umph. The doodling looked great, then I added the star w/ the green rhinestone and I was happy…I should have walked away. I could have done w/out the Perfect Pearls inside and out. It is just kind of hard to have the control you want w/ the Perfect Pearls…though I love the results most of the time.
I still think it is cute, so I thought I’d share. The font is Opposites Attract and the stamp is by Me & My Big Ideas. I used embossing powder for the stamp, though Staz-On would have been fine. The paper is Creative Memories Mod collection, just right for the “sporty cool girl” look I was after.
