What a great Challenge, thank you Jamie and Steff...there is so much inspiration to be had out there....this challenge brings it right into your home - YAY!!!!
I haven't inked this stamp before, although it is not new, I was given it along with dozens of others by a lovely lady Kelly, who was at the stall next to me at the first Markets I ever went to with my cards....I was just 'blown away' by the generosity of a stranger, who quickly became a friend!!! Kelly had stamped years ago and they had been packed away in boxes - not any longer!!!!
I chalked the grapes, which are actually a deeper colour IRL and used white gel pen to highlight them a bit, giving them a bit of depth, then adhered them with 3D foam tape...The pearl buckle is one of dozens I had picked up on sale. The ribbon is recycled from a gift we were given. It didn't take long to bring this card together but I am very happy with both the clours and the finished card. What do you think??
Thank you for looking and for your comments, they are invaluable to me!
EDIT: I have been inspired by the cake on page 5, row 3, 2nd from left!!

Ah, Linda, I think I may need to retract my previous statement about being delusional! No one delusional could ever create such a wonderful card. You've definitely got your own style, that's for sure. Today's card just accentuates that style beautifully with your image and distressed edges. Beautiful card; fabulous interpretation!
