This card is for a weekly challenge I do with my Doubledog Dare stamping pals! This week host was JDMommy (aka Anne) who dared us to make an Olympics inspired card and we could combine it with any of the other weekly challenges here on SCS.
I love Asian inspired cards, so I went all over with that idea and nothing felt right. I finally settled on being inspired by the 5 Olympic Rings and this is what I came up with. I decided to combine it with this weeks Be-Jeweled challenge and added matching half backed jewels. The sentiment is from Unity Stamps Beautiful Butterflies set. Thanks for a fun challenge Anne!! TFL!!

This is inspired all right, Anne!! I love that you used the rings! The flowers are such a great idea, and I love the jewels in the centers! The square format works so well, and the sentiment says it all!! Lovely!!
