Inspiration Challenge 274 ~ Cath Kidston

This week's SCS Inspiration Challenge comes from Cath Kidston. According to the website, Cath�s aim has always been to create well-priced, good quality products that are fun, practical and original.

For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many choices, I�ve uploaded three of my favorites � so just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. The rest of you, remember to let us know which item from Cath Kidston inspired you.

I invited Cathy (corysnana1) to join me this week & make an additional sample card for this week�s Inspiration Challenge.

Use the keyword: IC274 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

corysnana1�s sample ~ Fun Flowers

My sample ~ Love-Luck-Wisdom

IC274 Gallery

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, 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.

Decided to browse the inspiration site to help me choose a colour/pattern for a card I was CASEing from our outgoing QFTD49's gallery. Had a layout but needed a kick-start to get going...

Good Morning!! Question...
How come when I click on the IC274Gallery link in Stef's post above, I only see 1 card from DandI93 ?? and when I search the Gallery for IC274...I only see that same 1 card??

ETA~Nevermind...Not sure what happened, but it's all fixed now..

Lots of inspiration on that site, Stef I didn't use any one piece, but rather the theme (lots of polka dots!).

Here is mine:
