While watching the Olympics last night, I thought it would be fun to make a sports-themed card. During the opening ceremonies last night, they mentioned that this would be the first Olympics for Women's Boxing, so that's the theme I chose ... a card for anyone fighting the good fight.
I used this week's ColourQ Challenge together with this week's Retro Sketch
(flipped on its side) ... which is sponsored by The Alley Way. The stamps for my card are from The Alley Way's Work It Out.
I paper-pieced the gloves and training bag & added a paper punched button with pink twine as an embellishment.
What a fantastic stamp set and such a fun card. Thanks for joining us at the colourQ this week.
