Yipppeee, it is Wednesday! It is time for another challenge at The Card Concept
http://thecardconcept.blogspot.com/2014/10/challenge-20-colour-challenge.html and I know you will love the colors, so perfect for this time of year. I love Halloween and I love baseball too, the San Francisco Giants and they share the same colors. I decided to make my card a baseball card, using the colors for inspiration instead of the Halloween themed photo. This is the first time I have intentionally made a "clean and graphic" card and I have to say it was a lot of fun. Hope you will find the time to play along with us at The Card Concept, I am really looking forward to seeing your wonderful orange, black and white creations. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy the rest of your week!
Ingredients
Solid Card Stock: PTI - Black and Orange Zest and Michael's - White

That is a rockin' baseball card ... love the quote.
ReplyDeleteFabulous!!
ReplyDeleteLove it! :)
Love your CAS card. Using those bats like graphic images is a fabulous idea. Now, if they only had that quote for soccer, that set would be a must have around my house.
ReplyDeleteReally cool CAS card! - Thanks for your comments on my blog - i have been just so busy, but I am trying to catch up....
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, I love your baseball card! Very cool!!
ReplyDeleteAre you aware that your blog isn't loading right? Maybe it is just my I-pad. I'll try a visit from my desktop in the morning and let you know if that's any better.
Hugs!
I love that you used this color scheme for a baseball card. My mind immediately thought Halloween.
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome!! As soon as I saw those colours all I could think of was Halloween and Fall but you hit this one right out of the park!! (he he) You should do CAS more often, it looks good on you. And how amazing that your baseball team are these colours AND you had a basecall bat stamp....kismet!!
ReplyDeleteLove that you changed it up to a baseball theme. Very cool card. Your enamel dots (you know I adore them!) work perfectly like baseballs!
ReplyDeleteSo fun and so unique, Kim! I totally love it! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteI love that you did something other than Halloween with the colors, Kim. Reminds me there is a lot more to "October" than just Halloween!
ReplyDeleteOkay....this has got to be the BEST idea EVER! Only a true San Francisco Giants fan would think of this! Such a nice unexpected twist to the challenge! Love the black enamel dots!
ReplyDeleteLove this Kim and its perfect for your baseball colors! Very creative thinking!
ReplyDeleteI love that you used traditional Halloween colors to make a non Halloween card!! Very clever and creative!! Love the quote - my sister feels that way about baseball!! So great job!!
ReplyDeletethis is a great clean and graphic card Kim-and I like your creative idea in using the colors to make a baseball themed card-congrats to your Giants-they defeated my Pittsburgh Pirates the other night
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun card, Kim! I don't follow baseball until the Series, but was so happy to see 3 teams from the West Coast in the final 8. My brother is a died in the wool Angels fan--last game I saw in person. Of course, my sis & BIL are in the Bay area, so they'll be cheering the Giants with you!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun card! Carri~Abusybee
ReplyDeleteSkittles!
Kim, I agree with all those ahead of me...I didn't know you were taking the copics class either...gosh I don't have much of a life other than coloring...it is consuming me...first thing in the morning I have to watch ALL those wonderful videos, then of course I have to try everything and practice, practice, practice. Linda and I are finally feeling more confident and also feeling good about what we can produce! BTW, your card is awesome, but most everything you make is pretty incredible!
ReplyDeleteOh wow a stunning Cas design. Loving the autumn colours and the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteHugs DesÃre {Doing Life}
Great design! Any baseball loving person, male or female, will love receiving this! Fun use of Halloween inspired colors.
ReplyDeleteSeriously? You have baseball bat stamps? I'm in awe (and a tad green with envy, too)! A most innovative, eye-catching card! You've sparked memories of my brother's 'efforts' to break into pro-baseball after high school. He landed a partial scholarship to the University of Nevada, in Reno, which he attended for two years, before deciding that his future was back in Canada. Those were 'interesting' times - I missed him immensely, as he did us. 'Small city' Alberta kid aiming for the big leagues was rather cool; he was the only one of his grad class to do something so incredibly unique. Obviously, he didn't make it...but now we have Mr. C, and at 2 1/2 he has quite the throwing arm. Like father, like son. Love your card oodles, my friend!
ReplyDeleteHugs~c
What a marvelous way to celebrate your love of crafting, color & your baseball love in one brightly colored & unique card. A cute image, brilliant use of your inspiration Halloween colors with the bats. Clean, simple graphic design but magnificent execution. And a wonderful masculine card or for a fellow baseball fan. TFS & Happy wkend.
ReplyDeleteFantastic card design Kim! The perfect card for a baseball guy (or girl)! I know how inspired you were with the Giants games this week!
ReplyDeletewell you do graphic superbly and wow to the baseball stamp-how funny they do this! I like this colour combo, will have to think on this x
ReplyDeleteSo very cool and so deliciously graphic, Kim ... and so perfectly executed! Love those shiny baseball enamel dots! I also LOVE your new look ... clean, crisp, cool and so wonderfully minimal (as I'm catching up perhaps this happened later and I haven't got to it yet!) Anita :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic card Kim! It is so great idea and cool design. - xoxo Yoonsun Hur
ReplyDeleteLOVE this, Kim--fabulous design!!
