Photo inspiration at Sweet Stampin'

 
Happy Saturday! It's time to check out the new challenge at Sweet Stampin' - a fun one this week with a beautiful photo for inspiration (photo courtesy of lovely Judy). Below is my card - ok I know the photo is elegant and stylish and my card looks nothing like it but it does have a mauve bike, purple flowers and some paving!:)
 
 
 
the image is from Prairie Fairy, coloured with copics and then fussy cut, I printed it again onto the paving paper and then pieced the coloured image over the top, kind of a reverse paper -piecing, because I wanted the paving to appear through the spokes.  The birds are stamped onto the background paper, the clouds, trees and flowers arte all die cuts.
 
Our sponsor this week is The Hobby House with a generous £10 voucher.
Well, I'm sure that you're itching to get started making a card using this lovely photo as inspiration, but before you do why not hop over to Sweet Stampin' and see what the rest of the team have made!
Enjoy the weekend!
