Hello, Friend

Good afternoon all,

I'm spending a lazy Saturday afternoon stamping and watching baseball. (My two absolute favorite things!)

I decided to "Get Sketchy" and play along with the MFTWSC76 layout. I converted the bottom scalloped element to a banner so I could enter this in Linda's Catered Crop "banners and bunting" challenge as well.

Lots and lots of layers here, which I love to do. After stamping the PI girls on the white CS, I colored them with Copics and paper pieced their clothes with the same PP as the backgrounds. Then I sponged SU Bordering Blue ink all over the white areas making the edges a little darker.

After stitching around all of the panels, I used the Fishtail flag Die-namics die for the sentiment element at the top and the Mini Doily circles Die-manics for the banner.

Here is the inside:
