The image for this month's Stamp of The Month challenge at From The Heart Stamps is a St. Patrick's Day design but I didn't need a St. Patrick's Day card so I went a little different direction.
Being from Indiana, I saw the horseshoe as a sign for Indianapolis Colts who use a blue horseshoe as their logo. And the state bird is a cardinal so I definitely had to color the little bird red. And with a Colts theme, there had to be a football somewhere. I used an oval die cut for the football shape and backed it with what is called Basketball paper found at Hobby Lobby. Passes for football texture too. Some blue sequins make this a fun shaker card. The blue patterned paper is from my file. The manufacturer name had already been trimmed off so I don't know where it was from.
Send A Smile 4 Kids challenge is Animal Cards for Kids. The cards I send in go to Chicago area hospitals but maybe there will be a Colts fan there too.
Here is the Stamp of The Month Set
