Handmade Card #4

Just yesterday, I finished making another card. This time, a belated one. Why so? Well, I've been delaying it for the past 2 months or so due to the wrong timing as I had exams to sit for. On top of that, the holidays made it impossible for me to pass it to my friend, so, when there is no sense of urgency, I procrastinate.

For those who have followed my blog before about my creations, then you would know that I have a habit of making cards according to personality. So, this friend of mine, one thing that I feel differs him from my other friends is the fact that he likes baseball. Before this, I wanted to make one with a lot of balloons but from what I've realised this time, card making is definitely about improvising to make something look better.

Alright, cutting down the words... Moving on to a few pictures...
Sometimes, making a card is like fixing a puzzle with fewer pieces; thus, less complicated. However, you would need to know what type of puzzle it is going to be.
I've been using a lot of "warm" colours such as brown and yellow. Sometimes, simplicity is good just like sticking stars to a white background. Well, since my friend's a guy, you can't expect me to stick pink flowers, right? Besides, I think stars have a significant meaning too like reach for the stars and never give up your dream. Well, that's what I think anyway.

Okay, this is the inside of the card. I've added two strips of ribbon. You could also see the baseball. I wrote my message beside the baseball where the lines are. Of course, the message is for my friend and I to know. :)

Just in case you were wondering, I used the Jokerman font from Microsoft word and as usual, I used my coloured pens toe make it look bright and nice. ^^

In the end, this is the card which comes with a removable bookmark. It has been quite awhile since I thought about how I'm going to combine a bookmark with a card and this is another idea I thought about.
