Well, today is Tuesday and time for another {Pin}spirational Challenge. First I'll show you the photo that is our inspiration for this week.
Isn't that just a lovely scene. It really looks like peace and tranquility and lovely Fall colors in the background.
And our wonderful sponsor this week is Fresh Brewed Designs. Check out the store and see all the fabulous digis/stamps she has.
For my card I was inspired by the teacup first since our sponsor is Fresh Brewed. ;) Then I picked up some of the background color in my striped paper and thought that the image I used portrayed the peace and tranquility in the inspiration photo.
