70th Birthday card

A co-worker, Kyle asked me to make a card for his Dad's 70th birthday. His Dad likes Baseball and the Wisconsin Badgers.  Now, the Badgers don't  have a baseball team, but I think this still looks great. Nancy Babb from Creative Digital Art center, designed this digital image for me!!  I colored with my Prismacolor pencils, stamped the "DAD" with Penny Black stamps. The paper is Real Red, and Gina K.                                  

The inside of the card is another Digital Image, the glove, from Shelly Parker of Crafters Digital Art Center. I colored it with Prismacolor markers. I typed the sentiment on the computer, and downloaded the Baseball from Google Images. 
     I'm hoping this has gotten me back in the stamping mood again!!  Lot's of not so good things have happened in my personal life lately and I need some good stuff now!!!  
      I recently placed a Stampin' Up order, received it, but haven't opened it yet!! Maybe I will today!!  I need some incentive to get stamping!!
   I hope you all like the card!!!
