Funnily enough I started this card last night while watching the finals of the Olympic pairs ice dance. I was making it for the tea party where we are bringing Abner some colour - but not too much all at once! I'm bringing a touch of Canadian red - oh yeah! and lots of loop de loops with my double bows!!
So I was right on the money when I saw today's colour challenge. I'm going with Event #1 - one Olympic colour RED and one neutral BLACK and for dessert - one of the medal colours GOLD to celebrate the first place finish of Canada's Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir! Yay Canada!!
I embossed the right side of my white panel with the CB leaves and put it on a black card base. The maple leaf is embossed in shiny black, cut out and popped it up. Stamped and embossed the sentiment and coloured the heart with red copics. Matted in red card stock and popped it up.
Tied a double bow with some red gingham ribbon and added a gold star medal, er charm, with some gold cording also tied in a bow!!
Congrats to ALL the Olympians!
Thanks for taking a peek!

Great card and so appropriate for right now. The embossing and ribbon and layout are so cool! Canada is a really great place full of wonderful and fun people!
