BasicGrey Challenges 19 - Photo Inspiration



Hi everyone and I hope your weekend is off to a good start! A nice long holiday weekend for us here in the UK and hopefully the rain will stay off! A photo inspiration challenge on BasicGrey Challenges this time and I've gone for the colours and the hearts. Amazing inspiration from my DT friends, as always they come up with the perfect images. papers and designs, I love them all and I hope you can join us, there's a great prize from our sponsor Simon Says Stamp too.

I've coloured Tilda with distress inks, surprise, surprise and I used papers from BasicGrey Cupcake collection. The hearts stamped onto Magnolia patterned paper bottom right and the music stamped onto the background paper are also Magnolia stamps. Have a lovely Saturday.
