#mediterranean Archives - Inkspired Treasures

It’s Saturday and time for the Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop! Our design team theme is “Oh the Places We Will Go”…sort of a travel theme this week! I immediately thought to use my Mediterranean Moments stamp set…it brings back great memories of being on the Stampin’ Up! Mediterranean Incentive Trip last year! LOVED touring Europe and will definitely go back one day!

These little cafe tables and outdoor restaurants were all over Italy and Spain. I also loved the flowers and greenery hanging from windows! This photo was taken in Cannes with the flowering vine just hanging off the trellis!

Here are the details on this card:

The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Calypso Coral cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
A 1/2 x 4 piece of Calypso Coral was added to the left side of the 3 x 4 piece of Black Stripe pattern from Neutrals Paper Pack and then was added to a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White.
The greeting from Suite Sentiments was stamped with Calypso Coral Ink in the top right corner.
The image from Mediterranean Moments was stamped with Basic Black Archival Ink on Whisper White cardstock, then watercolored with an AquaPainter and Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Daffodil Delight and Basic Black Markers.
It was cut with the largest Stitched Oval Shape, then adhered to the largest oval of Basic Black Cardstock cut with the Layering Ovals. I love that these framelits coordinate so well together! It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
A piece of scrap Calypso Coral cardstock was punched with the Badge Punch, and trimmed so that only the scallop portion peaks under the oval.
A small piece of Flirty Flamingo Ruched Ribbon is tied in a knot and added to the left side of the oval with a Mini Glue Dot.

Our theme for this week’s Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop is “Color It”! Oh, I’m sure the Design Team will have LOTS of fun with the theme this week! Can’t wait to see what they have done! I used Mediterranean Moments for my card…this scene reminds me SO much of the narrow streets in Europe. So thankful for Stampin’ Up! to provide such awesome incentive trips…the Mediterranean Cruise was a trip of a lifetime for us!

Here are the details:

The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Mint Macaron cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
A 2-1/4 x 4 piece of Succulent Garden Designer Paper in the Tip Top Taupe grid pattern was added to the Bottom of a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Tip Top Taupe cardstock.
On a 3-1/4 x 4-1/2 piece of Whisper White, the Mediterranean Moments image was stamped with Black Stazon Ink, the watercolored with an AquaPainter and Mint Macaron, Old Olive, Calypso Coral, Sweet Sugarplum, and Tip Top Taupe Stampin’ Write Markers. It was placed on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The Mint Macaron Sheer Linen Ribbon was adhered to the back, then a small piece tied on the front for the bow.
The smallest Stitched Shapes Circle was stamped with the birthday greeting from Circle Of Spring in Black Stazon Ink, then added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
