SWEET STAMPIN' CHALLENGE - Photo Inspiration

Hi everyone

I am delighted to be back with another Design Team card to share which I made for the Challenge at  Sweet Stamping   The  theme to this Challenge is entitled  'Photo Inspiration' 

I thought you might like to know a little about this photo.  It was taken at Riva on Lake Garda, Italy 3 years ago when we were celebrating our Pearl Wedding Anniversary.  It stood outside the most beautiful Lavender goodies shop I have ever seen.  You will see that it is lavishly decorated with two pretty little pots at the foot.  There is even a bowl of lavender soaps suspended from the handlebars and can you see that Gift Bag?.  Inside the shop was the most beautiful selection of Lavender themed gifts to purchase, all gift wrapped in celophane and of course the scent of Lavender wafted through to us (wthout getting into your throat) when we walked through the door.  I was enchanted with it. 


There is a a lovely sponsor: 

Challenge Theme: - PHOTO INSPIRATION (courtesy of Judy (that's ME! ) from her hols )

I found this so inspiring and here is what I came up with. I made a set comprising Lavender Bag, Greeting Card and Gift Bag.  I have used a lovely Digi image from Fresh Brewed Designs on the inside of the card, flowers from Live and Love Crafts and lots of lace and pearls.  Andit smells gorgeous!

Happy  Saturday Morning everyone,

First of all just a reminder that I have a 3 year Blogaversary candy on the go.  All you need to do is leave me a comment on the Candy post to be in with a chance to win several prizes.  It would be a great shame if any of my  followers, both old and new were to miss out and I welcome new followers too.  Blogger is playing sillies at the moment but you can follow me on Bloglovin or the Google Circles.  You can find the candy post here http://inkypinkydelights.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/blogaversary-candy.html

I am delighted to be back with another Design Team card to share which I made for the Challenge at  Sweet Stamping   The  theme to this Challenge is entitled  'Doodles'.

This is a slightly different style for me.   I have made a few cards like this but they are not blogged yet.  The stamping part is the sentiment on the doodles heart die-cut.  I have to admit I did not do this, it was a lovely present from a friend of mine.  It was just too lovely not to use for this Challenge and perfect for the card especially as it covers a crease! lol  The things we do eh!
