I loved this inspiration. Several years ago I had the opportunity to travel through Italy. This challenge brought back a beautiful memory of a place in Capri where we ate lunch. We sat outside but the "roof" was made of grapevines and the fireplace was gorgeous - it wasnt being used..but between looking out onto the Mediterranean and then that beautiful island scenery....well, loved this challenge...and here is my card!
wanted to keep the "mantel" simple and used "the black iron" I saw everywhere along with the elegant pottery! (we also toured some of the handmade potterys and watched the artisans create....couldnt afford any of it...but thoroughly enjoyed watching them!)
hope you have a great day,
hugs to you,

I love the info on inking you cuddlebug folders thanks for sharing that. Love your card. and thanks for stopping by.
Oh Linda, I loved Italy, too! Your card is beautiful! The CB background is perfect! Blessings to you!
Your card is beautiful! Really reminds me of Italy. The whole inking of a Cuttlebug folder has fascinated me for a while, but I have never tried it. Maybe now is the tight time. :)
Great colors & cuttlebug folder using!
Oh linda how gorgeous. So elegant looking.
Italy? I'm lucky to go to Spokane! It's only 60 miles away!LOL!Your card is a work of art!
Linda what a lovely card and this challenge sounds like it brought up some wonderful memories for you, thanks for sharing.
Great use of the cuttlebug folder and the inspiration. Great card!
Linda, your card is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! I love everything that is inspired by Italy and this is gorgeous. How did you ink it to make it look this perfect? Did you ink the folder before running it through CB?
Your cards are so unique.
