Photo Inspiration - a Personal Challenge....

Hello Friends! I'm away this week, but scheduled this post so the blog-o didn't lie dormant! Some of you may remember Melissa Phillips issuing a Photo Challenge a while back. The picture came from a site called A Creative Mint - a site I have haunted quite often since then :0)

When I saw this picture I felt really inspired.

You can read more about it in this post on the blog site.

I love this picture. I love the mix of delicate pink with the wood, the creamy whorly texture on the cushion, the floral buttons, the handmade textures in the shawl, the packaging at the bottom with nature prints. There is a deep inner satisfaction that comes over me when I look at this. So I decided to use it to make a card.....

The knitted texture is inspired by the shawl, the flowers by the whorl shapes and the buttons, the leaves by the nature prints....the colours speak for themselves....

Materials: Flower and Leaf Stamps, Cardstock, Ink, Ribbon, Button and Twine - Papertrey Ink, Knitted stamp - WaltzingMouse, Pearls - Kaiser; Die - Spellbinders

I have another interpretation coming....but need some new stamps to get it done :0) (Such a great excuse don't you think?!) Heeee!

Thanks for stopping by! I will catch up with you soon - just need to get home again!

Have a FABULOUS day!!

ETA: The new stamps have arrived - so I hope I get some time to play with them while I'm away :0)
