You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Stephanie asked me to step in and host this weekend so here we go!!
I had been hoping for another opportunity to host because a little bit ago, I was checking out one of my favorite stamper's Blogs, and it turns out she's a gifted, professional painter!
So with her permission, today's IC is to browse Glenda Mosher's Art Gallery and create a card or project inspired by her work! Around these SCS parts, she's known as RobinRingtail!
Glenda wrote "I consider it an honor to be chosen for the inspiration challenge! I haven't been uploading to my scs gallery as frequently of late as I am preparing for a spring show of my work through an art association I am part of. Once again, thank you. I can't wait to see what kind of cards people will create!"
As you go through the pages of her blogspot/gallery, you'll see so much inspiration among her paintings. There's still life, scenes in nature, portraits. Amazing! The challenge is to be inspired by her work, not necessarily re-create it.
Below I have attached some of my favorites from the paintings in her gallery, you can stick to those or choose any that you like from her art gallery.
Use the keyword: IC173 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.
Hope you will check out Glenda's gallery and play along! If you don't have time to make a card, by all means, visit her art gallery anyways, and leave her some "love" in her comments box to let her know you checked it out!!
How to Play ~ View the attached images. You may be inspired to recreate the pieces ~ but that isn't necessary ... get your inspiration from the colors, layout, style or 'theme'. Just enjoy wherever your inspired creative journey takes you. Make the inspiration piece your own. Don't worry ~ no card is 'wrong' and there is no time limit for uploading your card for the challenge. There are no rules, so let your creative juices run wild ~ be *inspired* and go get stamping!
Don't forget about No Upload Sunday - Let's give the gallery moderators a day off and not upload on Sunday (unless, of course, you are a Fan Club member - yet another reason to spend a little money on your favorite site). Also, remember to link to your SCS gallery on this thread. Thank you for joining me on this inspiration journey.

I am having trouble viewing her whole blog. I only can get the 1st page with the fruit on the side. Anyone else having this problem. But when I go to the host photo, I can view her whole blog there...weird.

Anne, what a perfect place to go to for our inspiration challenge! Thanks for posting this one. I hope Glenda enjoys reading about all of our drooling...slurp...those are some incredible paintings!
OMG, Glenda - I knew you made gorgeous cards - but, your paintings are so realistic and show such a God-given talent. All I can think of is WOW!
Here's mine:
Not being much of a blog follower, I've never seen Glenda's blog and paintings. Wow! I was very impressed. I chose her Tiger Lily I (which I noted has been sold, and no wonder!). Here is my card Inspired by Glenda's Lilies.

This is an exceptional challenge! I perused Glenda's art work, loved it! I don't think I'l have time to participate today, but I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful challenge idea this is.
