Travellers Inspiration Challenge {one}!!

Hello There my Lovely Blogging Buddies!!!! I'm so very sorry it's been VERY quiet around here this week. I've had a terrible week, with my two little poppets both coming down with this NASTY Gastro bug, myself getting sick, and then hubby being sick too. So the only things I've had time to do are look after my darling family and CLEAN, CLEAN and CLEAN a bit more!!!! Finally though I've managed to sit down and make a CARD.... woo hoo!!!!

Tina aka TravelingMama has just started her own challenge over at her blog, which I might say is a FABULOUS blog... I love visiting Tina and having a giggle, a smile or an "UH HUH" moment. Sooo I was very VERY excited when I found out I had another wonderful challenge to play along with.

Tina is going to give us a photograph of a place travelled as our inspiration each week, and then all we have to do is come up with something creative... anything, as long as it is creative.... sounds wonderful huh... well pop on over and visit Tina for ALL of the deets... trust me you wont be disappointed.

Soooo... here is the card I came up with for her VERY FIRST challenge:-


Here is the GORGEOUS photo we had as our inspiration:-


Isn't it GORGEOUS!!!!

So I used the BRIGHT colours as my inspiration on my card. I started with Cool Caribbean (retired) as my base and added a layers of Regal Rose and Kraft.... why Kraft you ask... well the shoes seem to be sitting on the ground, which I thought resembled Kraft.... uh huh!!!! hahaha.
I've used my Circle Circus Set to create my own background and that is stamped in Close to Cocoa. The embelishment I've made by cutting two tabs from my Round Tab punch and joining them together to create a large circle then stamped another image from Circle Circus onto some Whisper White in Regal Rose and joined them together with a Rhinestone Brad. Add a touch of Regal Rose Ribbon and pop it up on some dimensionals and all done. The sentiment is from Sweet Little Sentiments and is stamped in Regal Rose.
This card is actually a CASE of this card I made a few weeks ago. I just LOVE the layout and given my week needed something quick and easy.

Hope you like and don't forget to visit Tina over at TravelingMama!!!!

Thanks for stopping by.
