Buon Giorno!

I have a card to share that I made for the challenge over at the Play Date Cafe ... this weeks challenge is going Italian ... a colour challenge based on this lovely photograph of Positano



... Lovely isn't it? I have actually been there too and the whole coastline is just breathtaking ... you can never imagine the number of steps the residents have to climb each day there in Positano just to get anywhere ... I am told that some of the oldest people live here too! Truly amazing ....
So my card  ....





It had to be "Amor" ... I love Italy and it is a such romantic place ....


A handmade rose, a paper heart, a pretty tag, ribbon and more embellishments from my stash ... and just in case you're wondering ... the sentiment translated says ... "Love never tires"...

Enjoy your day

Ros

This is lovely. I would love to go to italy and have a true cappuccino.
I have heard of "blue zones" before where people never get ill and live to be very old. That is something that is being studied a lot right now. I want to live in a blue zone! :)
