Traveler's Inspiration Challenge #4

This is the amazing photo, courtesy of Savitri,(taken whilst she was in Germany) for Tina's next Traveler's Inspiration Challenge
Let me retell some wonderful words from the delightful Tina herself...

This is the kind of place that makes me want to settle down, buy a bike with a little basket on the front, and bohemian style skirts. I would buy flowers for my window box for the Spring and display candles at Christmas. The door would be the perfect backdrop to a fresh evergreen wreath that would remind visitors with it’s glorious fragrant that this home is about life and love, timelessness and history, family and friends. Oh, yes! One can dream of having such a door as this...

WOW don't you just want to go there NOW!!! I want that skirt and bike with basket and flowers and, well simply the whole picture that was painted in my mind by Tina's amazing creative writing...Ahhhhh what a wonderful way to start my Sunday!!

It's been a long but great week and as a result I haven't had time to do my usual challenges! I've been busy preparing for a Craft fair so there's not been the time to play! BUT it was top of the Priority list for today's activities and so my card began!!
I hadn't realised when starting this card that it would be such a copy of the actual picture!! Still there are no rules so I'm sure that's fine, though I was trying to be a little more "out of the box"....maybe next time!!
The window dressing set was the pick of the day and with some brick like squares and the other windows disappearing up the wall, I think the whole look came together really well!!
How cool are these colours too! Baja Breeze is definitely a fav of mine (as it also is Amanda's!! Hello lovely!!) And it seems that the more I use Tangerine tango the more I like it!! Does that ever happen to you?? A colour that you supposedly really dislike all of a sudden takes a different light and presto... You like it!!! The sweet Brownyn was only sharing that with me last night about the colour Cameo coral! Couldn't stand the colour, saw it in a different light and now has some card stock coming her way!! (Hello to you too Bron, you did a SUPER job last night!!)
I really wanted to have the shutters more like they were kinda just swinging there so as you can see in my close up pic I double mounted them to give it some more lift!
Well that's about it! One more thing is a BIG HELLO to my wonderful friend Heath!! She's a regular visitor of mine and has missed me over the last week! Thanks for the great laughs last night dear Heath, it was such a blast!!
Until next time, when hopefully I'll have the comment issue's sorted, have a super Sunday!!
