Well, you can certainly feel the excitement as we are just four days away from the opening of the Olympics here in Vancouver. The athletes are arriving and so many visitors from all around the world are converging in Vancouver - the Olympic torch is scheduled to be passing in my neighbourhood later today and I hope that I'll be able to catch a glimpse of it.
Have you noticed watching the news the colors generally worn by the male news anchors? Its grey and shades of purple/mauve - even some of the hosts on talk shows are wearing the "uniform" of these colors with their grey suits and striped purple ties.
Here's a card using those colors.
I used Basic Grey for the primary card stock color, layered with a piece of DSP from Nouveau Chic. The layer is Almost Amethyst, trimmed at the bottom with the FREE Scallop Trim Border punch for SAB. I love the flowers from Greenhoue Garden and those are stamped with Lavender Lace with centres in Basic Grey. The sentiment and frame is from Vintage Labels another FREE SAB item, stamped with Basic Grey on Almost Amethyst and punched out with the Curly Label punch. Don't you just love how well everything co-ordinates with SU products?
