The Wonderful Olympic Cauldron

Today I'm posting a card inspired by the fabulous 2012 Olympic Cauldron designed by the UK designer Thomas Heatherwick. Did you see the way those copper 'petals' came together to create the flame? I thought it was absolutely amazing.

To make my card, I hand-cut the 'petals' out of some gold mirror card, and used some StazOn black ink to create a little depth. The octagon border at the base of the card brought in a bit of colour. Octagons and hexagons seem to be in fashion within the world of paper crafting at the moment, so I thought I'd give it a go too.

Hope to see you here again soon,
