Olympics or Sporty with the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge

Good morning to you all in the land of blog
More super critters :) don't you just love them

Today sees the next challenge at the

Olympics or Sporty


We are sponsored this challenge by two fabulous companies

One winner will get a $25 gift certificate from House-Mouse Designs

and secondly
Digi Kit of her BEST OF BRITISH  

wow a fabulous prize

Here is my design team inspirational piece however please do hop over to see the rest of the teams wonderful creations.

I made a grand circle card using the colours of the Olympic rings

The circle card itself is a grand nestie scallop with a blue layer from the grand nestie circle on top.  I stamped the image onto the image plate framed it with the red scallop and then using the colours of the Olympic rings in ribbon (a metre of each from Grimsby Crafts) carefully layered them around the red scallop, I then cut each one into the tag shape.  I added yellow bling gems to the image plate and the image plate has been distressed with gold ink.  The flowers hand created from red and yellow card, stamped with scrolls of black with a green diamanté brad and blue fronds again the same five colours.


The image coloured in copics and some Atyou Glitter pens. The image is 
MUSCLE MOUSE 
                                                      HMJR1018 from Simon Says Stamp

Hi Kate
Super gorgeously fantastic card! Love the colours. Very striking. Also the shape of it is amazing too. I have to say I think I would go mad cutting all those ribbons into shape but very much worth it! Oh, please do not tell me that image has got sweets in it. My digestive system is screaming! Can you hear it? (LOL)
