Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
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?
This week's inspiration comes from the Grandinroad online store, which specializes in home and gift merchandise. There are lots of different categories to inspire you.
For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many choices, I have uploaded three of my favorites from the website, as well as linking to the two pieces of art that inspired my projects (yes, I was so inspired that I couldn't stop at one card this week) so just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. For the rest of you, feel free to use anything from Grandinroad for your inspiration - just provide a link, so we can all see what inspired you.
Use the keyword: IC175 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.
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.
Stef, can't wait to play later today. Too tired to think tonight.

DH is on the scanner computer, so I uploaded this card without adding details. I just now edited for the details. I hope you can see the card soon--I really liked the inspiration piece I chose and I like the way this card turned out. Garden Spot
Well, it's 4:00 in the morning and I couldn't sleep -- so don't expect much. When I looked through the inspiration website and saw this Sunflower Mat, I thought I'd like to try my new Edgeabilities. Here's my Masterpiece of Nature.
Now maybe I can go back to sleep! I'll check out the gallery later this morning.
I couldn't wait until the morning either, brb...gotta upload it.

Well this is my first challenge ever on SCS, so hopefully I did it right LOL. I think I'm going to try another one tomorrow or I guess that will be later today- as it is 1:35am and I think I should get to bed. Unfortunately 3 kids does not equal the luxury of sleeping in.
Here's my card Branch Out inspiration by picard76 at Splitcoaststampers

I finished mine early, as I have to finish my swap sets tomorrow. This was MUCH easier inspiration than last weeks challenge. I did finally finish the one from last week, but it was a bit more difficult. I loved the Star Treatment Art Prints, and decided to start from there. Thanks for the link to the great site...if only I had money!
In the Garden
I used some planters for my inspiration - made a textured background based on the planter, and then added my grasses.
(For some reason the link to my inspiration is broken - it was these Petal Ribbed Outdoor Planters .
