This little make was inspired when we used the Airport Lounge while waiting for the connecting flight, At the coffee machine I saw these packets of Van Houten's Chocolate Drink and immediately thought of this Artistic Outpost stamp from the Think and Wonder set. I played about with the Cabinet card die to make a little holder.
I am entering this at:

Vintage Stamping Challenge - Olde Worlde (Chocolate is still in date - but my boy image isn't)

A couple of pics from the hols.
Taj Mahal, the flower pattern is made with semi precious stones, so beautiful
Agra Fort and a beautiful room in the Summer Palace
Jaipur's City Palace and this amazing door
And this in Jaipur city, the Palace of Winds, which is only a facade to allow the ladies of the court to view the city streets
I've lots, lots more, but don't want to bore you.
Off to a workshop tomorrow afternoon with the very talented Hels Sheridan - should be a great time.
Whatever you're doing at the weekend, hope it's a good one.

A fabulous creation Avril... and nice that it was inspired in India! I hope you're watching Indian Summer with Julie Walters.... it's a bit of an eye opener!
My daughter was bridesmaid in India a couple of years back.. somewhere that is not a tourist destination - and because she's so blonde, people kept coming over to her and touching her hair! She said is was really odd! Fabulous photos - thanks for sharing them.

One of my favourite AO stamps, and what a good idea to use it to create a cocoa pouch!!
I'm completely blown away by your photos from India - it really does look magical. I love the idea of a whole building created just to let the court women spy on the world! Thanks for sharing these - couldn't ever be boring!
