Olympic Inspiration

Afternoon guys. Late? Yip. Sorry? Nope!! LOL. This is the result of a whole weekend in the garden, in the sun. BBQing it large and having a blast!! After spending a week cooped up at work when it's glorious outside.. I make the most of my free weekends in the fresh air!! Now don't get muddled - I'm still as white as a sheet, but I ain't big on all of this tan stuff anyway. Good job though, eh? :)

Okay, okay. Enough of the mindless waffle. My blog is ridiculous right now - my posts are like buses!! For that, I apologise - but now, while I'm sitting.. I'll get a few scheduled for the coming week. :)

So this week - Team 1 - over at Passion for ProMarkers has some awesome inspiration for this weeks challenge criteria.. 

 

Debs has chosen an Olympic themed inspiration photo. You can use the rings themselves, a sporty theme, or even just the colours. As usual - you've gotta use your Letraset products to be in with a chance of winning.. 

The prize this week is a £10.00 voucher from our sponsor - Joanna Sheen, to spend in her online store.

 

So here goes!! 

I used a gorgeous (uninked) Simply Sassy image, and coloured her with ProMarkers and FlexMarkers - naturally. I love her little pose and those.. pom poms? are a treat to colour. This is Team Spirit. I've cut her out using a Labels Two and added some of my faux stitching using a Real Red SU! Marker.  

Blush, Soft Peach, Rose Peach, Baby Pink

March Hare, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Cocoa

Red, Berry, Crimson, Burgundy

Azure, True Blue, French Navy

Blender, Cool Grey 1, 2

Cool Grey 3, 4, 5, Black

Blender, Soft Aqua, Pastel Blue, Cool Aqua

Sandstone, Tan, Cinnamon

I've created the sentiment using my trusty Lawn Fawn Alphabet - Harolds ABC's. AMAZING set - like.. amazing. Gotta get my hands on more Lawn Fawn Alpha sets. I've stamped their names in Real Red ink to tie in with the rest of the card. This card is to give to my boss and a lass I work with who are doing the Race for Life next month. :) A little bit of encouragement for them.

I've used some papers from My Minds Eye Lime Twist - Out of the Blue. I've added a slice of yummy pencil stripe ribbon from The Ribbon Girl and some Doodlebug brads to my sentiment/ name panel which has been cut using an xCut die. :)

Me thinks that's about it - so I'm off to scout for some challenges to enter:

Celebrate the Occasion - Anything Goes

Creative Craft Challenges - Patriotic Colours

Oldie but Goodie - Anything Goes

My Simply Sassy stamp - been sitting unloved for a lot longer than 6 months *sad face*

Make it Monday - Anything Goes

That's it from me for today!! :) Thank you for stopping by.
