Here's My Card: How About Some Spring

Did you know we have an Inspiration Challenge Pinterest Board? Be sure to check it out!

For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many, or too little, images to choose from, I've uploaded 5 (or more) of my favorite designs! So just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. Click on the images below to see them bigger and to get their links on SCS.

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. Remember, if you are inspired by the creation of another artist, please do not use print-outs of the art in your creation or directly copy their work. 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 ~ 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 us on this inspiration journey.

NEED HELP GETTING A LINK TO YOUR INSPIRATION PICTURE?

If you are unable to grab the link of your chosen picture, (on some sites, you can't, it only gives a link to the whole collection), hover over the picture in the collection that you want to link to. On a windows machine, right click the picture (on a Mac, 2 finger click). When the options come up, select COPY IMAGE ADDRESS. This link will be for that picture.

I am glad to see that things remain much the same there as Darren's picture was taken, or at least uploaded last September.

[Crafty Julia]

took this lovely card and made it my own, influenced by this card- Gypsies Are Getting Married Photo. Added "dewdrops" on my flowers with crystal effects, also less visible on the dry embossed background. Added "drips" with my olive green marker and a water pen. Finished with some coloring, and a peachy ribbon tie mid line. Here's you make my heart smile.

I'm late to the inspiration but finally got a card done! A lovely site to look at! IC690 Flowers in a Pail by artystamper - at Splitcoaststampers

[Crafty Julia]

cold weather makes me think of warm robes- so I went with the heat embossed image of this little girl in her magenta bathrobe, accompanied by a black cat- an abstract interpretation of this- Woman in Bathrobe Drinking Coffee. As she's a little girl, I omitted the coffee, and made the winter background between the curtains with green and blue-purple leafless trees. Here's sweet retreat
