Welcome to the last Inspiration Challenge of 2020! What a year! I am ready to close the door on 2020 and pray that 2021 is better. For this week's Inspiration Challenge, we are going to my Doors Pinterest Board. Several years ago, Lowe's had a commercial with a house that had a yellow door. I talked my mother into painting her front door yellow. She has had strangers come to her door and ask her what color it is. We call it Big Bird yellow. So hop on over and enjoy the colorful and creative doors. Be sure to link back to the picture that inspired you.
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.
You put together a really amazing collection of doors, Amy! Now I wonder if it's time to revamp my blue one which was quite a step outside the box when I first painted it.
Inspired by the door from Venice (sorry- can't upload the image)- with its rustic timbered look and half circle metal detailing on the upper half of the door- I I went even more glitzy on the inside with drawn black curliques on on the verticals and a gold center reverse cut piece. Repeated the medallion with jewels from the outside of my card- here's the inside view and the outside view

Amy, I love your Pinterest Board of Doors. I have bookmarked it for future reference. I will be going back there often to enjoy and be inspired. Here's my card for this week's challenge: Inspired by White by DebbieinOC at Splitcoaststampers
