Well "Inspiration Pics" are meant to inspire us and this one certainly did the trick for me! Isn't it a fabulous photo??!! How I wish I were there instead of chilly old Melbourne!
The pic comes from Delys as Challenge #76 on "Just Add Ink " this week.
It also reminded me of another one of my stamping inspirations...Vicki.... and THIS
beautiful card that she made for one of the Less is More challenges. So I decided to CASE it!
But this did present me with some creative challenges- firstly I don't have the "Neighbourhood Wheel" that she used and the houses from "Good Neighbours" ...which I DO have ...would be too small. However I did have this gorgeous house stamp given to me by my son's girlfriend last year for my birthday...but it is a much more elegant style.... Hmmm - So I decided to go "posh" and even though I LOVE the blue in the photo I decided to stick with cream and black ...... with red for the flowers as that goes so well with black. I made them with the Boho Blossoms punch. I used this weeks sketch on SCS ( #341 )
which luckily enough was perfect for my design as the 2 outside panels looked like the shutters on the inspiration house when they were crimped.....Look closely Lol!!
So Thank you !! to all my sources of inspiration for this card- I was truly inspired by you!

I love how you have framed the houses with the flowers, it reminds me of the flowers along the balcony in the photo! Thanks for playing at JAI this week ♥
Your take on the sketch is spot ion and I love how this card turned out. The stamp made me think of old houses in Amsterdam; our capital city...
Gorgeous Robyn; good to see enother handmade beauty from you.
