KFD sneak peek : basketball and swimming

Hi and welcome back for more sneak peeks at products that Karen Foster Design will debut at the CHA 2012 Winter show. To celebrate this release the Design Team will be hosting a giveaway contest on our blogs where you can enter to win prize packs that match each day’s theme(s).

Today's featured themes are basketball and swimming.

The basketball theme includes four patterned papers, cardstock sticker and stacked stickers.  Surely the crowd-pleasing colors of brown, orange and blue will put you in the mood for some hoops.  I love the close-up detail of the basketball and the collage paper.  So very cool.

Move over basketball hoops, we're ready for some swimming laps.  The aquatic tones used in this theme will leave you wanting to swim [even if in the middle of winter].  Navy, teal and orange ---- and metal buttons.  Oh my, swimmingly awesome!

I made two cards using this set and could make a million more [even if I know no one that swims competitively].   The first one features a Ready. Set. Swim! sticker and one of the button badges.  I simply used two of the same sticker to add WIN over swim.  The swimmer along the bottom of the card was cut from the collage paper.


This second cards also has a button badge ---- LOVE them!   In this card I wanted to pick up more of the orange of the diver.   The D, V and E were cut from stickers and added around the diver.   I also added some bubbles of crystal effects to mimic water drops.
