Basketball Saturated Canary

I decided to colour another Saturated Canary image, I've become hooked on them, I knew I would! This one is for a boy and reminds me so much of when our sons were young and forever playing ball games. My card blank is a large square by Craft UK. I coloured him with Promarkers and cut it with a Spellbinders grand oval nestie. While it was still in the die I used Distress Ink in Stormy Sky to colour the inside edge. I used backing paper that I've had for ages and it was from one of the shopping channels - I think QVC. The navy blue card used for the mat is from Papermill. I ripped two pieces of the navy card and added a length of Creative Expressions' baker's twine to each one before adding to the background. The LOTV sentiment is top left and that also had the edges smudged with Distress Ink. Three pieces of Card Candi finish off the design.

I'm entering my card in to the following challenges:
Creative Craft Challenges - Red, White and Blue
