Travelingmama Challenge #4

Posted on | July 24, 2009 | 11 Comments |

Hiya! Tina aka Travelingmama is now hosting a challenge, a travel/places inspiration one, and for this week the picture she decided to use was one that I submitted, challenge #4. Fun!!! This was a picture that I took during our trip to Germany fall of 2007. This was our last stop before heading back to the U.S. (saaaaaaaaaaaad). The town we were in is called Rothenburg ob der Tauber and it’s on the Romantische Strasse aka the Romantic Road. I believe this town is the biggest preserved midevil town. Very touristy but gorgeous!

For this challenge, I decided to make the card below.

I used the colors from the picture to create my card and somewhat used the picture as a sketch. See the blue door and my little blue piece of card stock? The red ribbon’s inspired by the ribbon on the door and you see the pink speckles on the bottom right? If you look at the picture there seemed to have been flower petals on the ground. That’s what I did on my card too. For the speckles I used the stamp from the Branch Out set. I should have added some texture but forgot.

Ok, have a GREEEEAAAAAT weekend! Hope the picture inspires you too!! I can’t wait to take more European pics. There are tons to see in the U.S. but there’s something about Europe that makes it oh so photogenic and I am so so looking forward to our time there!

wow! this is an amazing photo! truly inspirational! I swear this pic would most likely pop up on a Conde Nast mag or a Travel and Leisure mag. Very nice, I like a lot. So, as soon as I saw yer photo I said, I g2g to Archivers and see what type of orange paper I can get to match the colors on the photo, so I did and have yet to figure out how to use it on my card! Great card, I love the scallop circle and the cute bunny!
