No.1 Dad Box Card

I jumped on the box card band wagon and made one for father's day.  This card will be from the boys to their dad.  Tom loves baseball and the Yankees, in particular, so I tried to make the little guy look like a Yankee with his uniform.  I had to use a blue marker to make the pin stripes.  I also added some stitching for the the hat. Copics were used for the skin and the hair. I also made lines on the baseball bat to make it look more like wood using Copics.

To make the box more complete,  I added a baseball and a label from the Total Sports cartridge.  I stapled them with  my Tiny Attacher to clear plastic to make them look like they are in the air.  The sentiment is from a CTMH stamp set called Kudos.  I added a ton of grass and there is little picket fence, too. 

The phrase is from the Phrases cartridge.  The #1 is colored in with Wink of Stella - so sparkly! But I restrained myself because it is a guy card!

  14. Good Morning: I recently purchased a cricut so I am fairly new to all of this. Is the little batter from a past hop and is not available to purchase? If it is available to purchase, where can I buy him from? This card is too cute! My husband and sons are big baseball fans. I am trying to make a card very similar to this one within the two days and can not find a baseball boy as cute as this one. We are going to be at a baseball tournament in Toms River this weekend and would love to get all the Dad day cards done by tomorrow night.
