So much to inspire at the Ferris Wheels & Carousels website - I had a hard time choosing just one! I finally chose this rug as my starting inspiration.
Stamped the wine labels on parchment in Gathered Twig ink - tore the edge all around and sponged on a bit of peeled paint backed with grape cardstock to help it pop then decided to color in just the bunches of grapes in the bg. I tried several ribbons to tie over the bg but nothing was quite right - then I remembered this variegated wine colored washi tape - now this I did like . . . .The wine bottles were stamped on scrap stock, colored with prismacolor pencils and fussy cut, then raised up with mounting foam.

Beautiful card, Linda! But you have linked this card to the WCW challenge thread as Easter Wildflowers. So now I have to go look at your gallery to see that one.
