It's time for another House Mouse challenge, and this week the
HMFMC125 is to create anything having to do with the Olympics.
These little guys have wrapped themselves inside of an American flag, which is something you see plenty of during the Olympic games! I colored the image using Copics, and added some navy hemp with 3 tiny tags where I've embossed U.S.A. in gold. The background was embossed with a Cuttlebug Herringbone embossing folder, and I sponged white ink on the alternating stripes in keeping with the flag theme. I added a piece of blue cardstock for the flag field on which I placed some tiny white stars that were cut using a SNSS star border die.
So have you been watching the Olympics? I've really been enjoying the awesome US women's volleyball team of Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings! I remember them being a dynamo team in the Beijing Olympics, and they're still going strong in London! WTG ladies! I think these mice are rooting them on for another gold medal :)
Thanks for stopping by today and have a great day!

I love this, Carol! I ended up using the same image, so I will wait to load mine. Is the mouse on the left wearing flag or a scarf? There in lay my troubles. LOL! Anyway, I am really enjoying all the excitement of the Olympics, and so glad that House Mouse got into the Celebration. You made these mice a 10!
And the gold goes to Carol Longacre representing the USA. This card is phenomenal!!!!!!!!!!!
Your background flag is out of this world just like the coloring of this precious image. Love the embossed letters. First place all the way, my friend.

Carol, this is just the cutest thing ever. You know, I forgot I had that herringbone folder and just look how you used it with the white stripes. You're just too good.
Unfortunately, I have seen very little of the Olympic games. I do always enjoy them, though. Just no time yet.
YOU are SO patriotic and DARLING! Gawsh - how I love your breath taking color skills! This card just MAKES me proud to be a card crafting AMERICAN babe, like yourself! *Mwahhhh!*
Fabulous, such a fun card, brilliant colours and colouring. I love how you have used the twine with the 'USA' - I just hope you remember to untie the Mousies again !!!!

Cheer mice, cheer! USA WV gold in sight! How about that youngest swimmer making gold?!! Have to mention those runners of swiftness. Gold times Mike Phelps swim stroke great any day of the last twelve years. Thanks, Michael, for every training hour away from your family.
Moma and sistas, hug 'em each with appreciation for those supported Olympic years. We shall recall your final lap stretch for decades!
