SA05 Inspiration Challenge



Today I have a card for the Stamping Around Challenge sponsored by Waltzingmouse Stamps. The challenge is inspiration from this beautiful photo set by Anya, one of the WMS DT members.





I used my newly purchased Sewing Box Hugs set from WMS, cut a frame from some K & Co Sparkly Sweet paper, and matted and layered onto some lilac Bazzill and some pink patterned paper from Wild Rose Studio.



Paper pieced the cottage with some pink gingham paper from Craft Creations, and some bits from stash. I liked the sentiment, so thought I would have the little door on a hinge to 'open'.



Coloured some curtains on the windows with promarkers and edged the frame with some blue chalk ink, and the card and label edged with pink. Added some gems as curtain tie backs.

Added some co-ordinating buttons and gems, some punched leaves, and couldn't resist adding a little punched flower on the label.

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend,

Pauline xx
