Hello all, Kia here with you to host this, the 5th week of May, Inspiration Challenge. We are visiting one of my Pinterest Boards of Nail Art, where I always seem to find inspiration, and I hope you will too. Remember to link back to your inspiration photo.
For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many, or too little, images to choose from, & since some sites have limited viewing areas, I've uploaded MANY images to help inspire you. 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.
**Please note: If you are unable to view the Inspiration Site in your country, please use one of the pictures provided for you (thumbnails below, used w/ permission). Unfortunately, we have no control over the sites' viewing areas. **
How to Play ~ View the attached images or visit the site link. 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, please do not use print-outs of the art or items 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.
Kia, thanks for the fun inspiration. There were so many things I would like to do with the inspiration. Black cats for one, but I ended up creating a floral card.
I am fascinated by Nail Art and how they can get such intricate designs on such a small space. And while I'd love to sport some of these designs, my daily chores take their toll on my fingernails so a Manicure tends to lasl me about 2 days before it is abused beyond repair . . . . Here's my offering for today:
Kia- lovely site! I was inspired by the delicate nailwork and created my floral card. Added some sewing around my sponged flower from my stash, with a framed wax resist border. Added 2 muslin bows, one with a button, and one over my muslin border. Finished with a hand lettered sentiment. Here's dear friend

I never knew there was so much amazing Nail Art out there! I happened to have a sparkly fish I was itching to use on a card, and was inspired by this pic:
Kia these nail arts are so cool to look at. I chose this one: NAIL ART

Coincidentally, I did my own manicure for the first time in decades last week... I enjoyed looking at all of the options on Kia's board. I definitely do not have the patience to try anything close to that kind of art on my nails! Here's my card: IC756 Sending Hug & Smile by IndigosMom - at Splitcoaststampers
Thanks for looking!
