July 28th - Archery - CLOSED and winner announced

Held at Lord’s Cricket Ground, the Archery competition at the London 2012 Olympic Games will call for pinpoint precision and nerves of steel.

Archery dates back around 10,000 years, when bows and arrows were first used for hunting and warfare, before it developed as a competitive activity in medieval England. A tense and testing sport that requires immense reserves of skill and nerve, Archery is now practised in more than 140 countries around the world.

The object of the sport is simple: to shoot arrows as close to the centre of a target as possible. Olympic Archery targets are 122cm in diameter, with the gold ring at the centre (worth a maximum 10 points) measuring just 12.2cm. Athletes shoot at the target from a distance of 70m.
Athletes compete with recurve bows, distinctive as the limbs curve outwards at the top.
Men and women compete separately, both as individuals and in teams of three.

The challenge for this Olympic Sport is to make a card or layout, ATC or tag using these three components:

1. Bull's Eye
2. Arrow
3. Feather

Here is my example...



You will have until August 31st to upload your card or layout here. For each entry, your name will go into a hat for a RAK from me!

A couple of rules...
These must be new as of July 27th to qualify.
You can make up to 3 cards or layouts, or tags or ATC's.

Have fun!

Colleen gorgeous card but you don't have a feather or an arrow

Colleen, your card is gorgeous. I love all the lace detail and the Flowers!!!

GORGEOUS Colleen!!! Is that one die that you used for the edges? Is it one big puch???? Do tell!

Do we have to use all 3 or just choose one?

I read the challenge wrong, I thought we could pick one of the three. Back to the drawing board.

Helen it is an SVG that I cut with my circuit.

Colleen, want to share that SVG with a sister?

CRAP I was hoping we only needed one - that is a tough combination! I'll have to stalk the birds' nests for a feather. LOL!

It's just lovely Colleen!

Thanks Kelly.
