It's time to thank the coaches!

My daughter is a dancer and one of her dance friend's mom's asked me to make 3 thank you cards for her son's wrestling coaches.  There's a head coach and two assistant coaches, one of which is her husband.  She was very happy with all the cards and admitted she'll give her favorite to her husband.  She wasn't sure which one it would be when I gave them to her.  The school colors are orange and black so they were fun to make.


When she asked me to make the cards I knew I had some sports themed stamps but not wrestling...or so I thought.  As I started digging I was thrilled to come across the "wrestling" word in my Tee Talk set from Gina K.  I have several of her sports themed sets and hadn't cut up the little words yet.


I kept the inside simple since she wanted all the boys to have room to sign their names.  They're all around 6-7 years old so I know they probably write pretty big.


I love all the little accent stamps in Gina K stamps.  The whistle is just so cute!!


I stamped all the hoodies on orange paper and then colored them with orange Copic markers to add dimension.  I wish you could see it better in the photos.


I'm so glad Tanya asked for these cards.  These are some of my favorite sets and I had a lot of fun making these!
