Crafting for Gold Closing Ceremony :-)




ANYTHING GOES



Today our very own Ali and Tony, the owners of Crafty Ribbons are sponsoring and one lucky entry will win this FABULOUS prize !! :-)



I missed the last House Mouse Challenge and the DT did some amazing Olympics cards and I was particularly inspired by THIS card made by Kate and THIS card by Sue Drees when I made this :-)



I followed the fab sketch on the Sketch File and made the Olympic rings using Spellbinders Circle nesties, I coloured them in the appropriate colours with Copics and glittered with Hero Arts Crystal Glitter ,,, very sparkly IRL :-)

I will add links to all the stamps I used at the bottom of this post. The 1st one is an acrobat, the 2nd is jumping for joy at getting a medal, the 3rd has just completed a vault, the 5th is having a ickle rest after a run, and the 5th is looking at the scoreboard to see his result :-)

They were all coloured with Copics and I used a I and 3/8 inch circle punch to cut them outand glued them behind the rings. I used red card for layering and embossed some plain white card using an M-Bossibilities Whimsy folder, I thought the design looked a bit like the Olympic rings ,,,, :-)

I finished with a fab red/ white swiss dots ribbon, I made a flat bow and added a white button , both from Crafty Ribbons and I added some red Hemptique twine to tie a bow on the button :-)
