Very Pintresting

This week's dare over at Daring Cardmakers is certainly a fun one - Nat has set this week's, which is all about PINTREST.

As the title suggests we're looking to Pintrest for some inspiration!

We want to spread some Pinterest love this week - because the joy of Pinterest is discovering new sources of inspiration!

So the dare this week is to create a card using a "pin" for inspiration.

We want to see what inspired your creation so make sure you include the original "pin" (ideally using the handy Embed feature that appears to the right of the image on Pinterest) alongside your card project in your blog post.

If you're not a member of Pinterest you can still play along - you can either browse/search Pinterest for inspiration and still embed the "pin" in your blog post or simply share whatever pic you have used as inspiration for your card. Either way please remember to give credit where credit's due.

...and this is my inspiration pic....

I absolutely fell in love with the picture, it's beautiful! I love the colours, shabby decs and  the white wood. What's not to love?! If you've never been on Pintrest, please do go and have a look there are so many amazing images and photos, you will be there for hours :)

So as you can see, I took my inspiration from the clocks, black, brown and, book pages, crown and hints of lilac. Loved making the shabby page border along the bottom of the card, made by cutting strips of paper, layering and then sanding, inking and tearing (yep, my fave things)
The clocks and crown are digi stamps, printed onto textured card and inked and the white wash paper is a current fave, which I've stamped some shabby text on.
All finished with some flowers, pin and a seam binding bow which I've inked up too.
