Hockey

The Dutch Hockey players are doing

super at the Olympic Games in Lonon

The men's and the women's team are playing the finals.

The women play on today  against 

Argentina for gold.

So as to cheer them on I made a card.

The men play on Saturday against

Germany for the gold medal

and of course we go for

G* O*L*D

 For this card I googled a hockey picture

and I thought this was a fun one with only the legs and the 

sticks to see. I add the picture here so you can use it too.

The sentiment is a digital one from

Create with TLC

And the pennants I cut with my pennant punch

from Stampin'Up!.

Please keep your fingers crossed.

Have a creative day!

London Olympics

 My friend Paulette, from Create with TLC

has a wonderful Olympic Subway FREEBIE

on her blog today and I just had to play with it.

 I googled a vintage Olympic image for the background

of this card. Made some Brittish pennants to the size

of my SU! pennant punch. Cut out a Florish Floral with

a tim Holtz die and completed the card with a few

flowers with the Olympic rings on top.

When I start playing I always get more ideas.

With the 5 colors of the Olympic rings in acrylic paint

and the lid of my water bottle I made this Olympic

background by stamping with the lid on my card.

 Left the middle part unstamped for the embellishment.

 Here is the finished card.

Now back to the television, for I don't want to miss

seeing just Justin Bolt running.

 Have a creative day!

July tag: The Olympics

 This is my July contribution for Tim Holtz

12 tags of 2012.

This time my tag is a card for the Olympic Games,

because the games will start coming Friday July 27.

 I used the new bright colors of alcohol ink and pitch black. kraft papers

and a stamp with London on it from the Papillon set

and the rings stamp from the Bitty Grunge set.

 This is the finished card. With layers of the Brittish flag as 

kraft colors in the background as well as the ribbon.

 I made the number out of metal from a can

of soda and used the numbers die that I won from Sizzix.

Why 30 you may ask, that is because these are

the 30th Olympic Games.

 

The rings are grungy and colored and sprayed with 

canned air in the exact same colors of the Olympic rings.

I used: Sail Boat blue, Pitch Black and Watermelon on top

and Sunshine Yellow and Citrus green.

You can find all info of the 12 tags of 2012 on 

the blog of Tim Holtz.

Have a creative day!
