Hello.
Ooh, I DO love a card challenge. So, I'm excited about the new, monthly one at
For their first challenge, they would like to see cards inspired by the Paris Olympics.
'Don't panic Captain Mainwaring' - if, like me, you have no 'sporty' stamps there is a hole host of things to be inspired by... the colours, the team kits, the places, etc. Check out the blog, and the photo below for ideas.
I covered a piece of card with ds tape and stuck my narrow strips of coloured card on top. Then I die cut the letters with stitched alphabet dies, and used foam tape to attach them.
Tip: lining up the letters so they are perfectly straight can be tricky, so give yourself a break and slightly stagger them!
The medal is gold card, die cut with a circle, with a gold No1 added, and some pieces of black striped ribbon.
I also made a coloured strip to go behind my panel, to try and pull everything together.

Such a great way to interpret the challenge Caroline - and great to show you don't need to take the theme to sports. Thanks so much for playing along with your fab card!
Such fabulous creations and I LOVE your gold medal!!! Have you tried Brutus Monroe Raven ink? It's great for details, but I haven't tried it on a blended scene (I haven't created one recently). I do like it in my arsenal though!
