Inspiration Challenge 322 ~ Charleston Gardens

This week�s Inspiration Challenge comes from a site that makes me long for spring! Charleston Gardens Home and Garden Collection has a wide variety of indoor and outdoor items for any size garden.

For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many choices, I�ve uploaded six 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 Charleston Gardens inspired you.

Use the keyword: IC322 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

My sample ~ Songbird

IC322 Gallery

I am guest hostessing for Stephanie while she is on vacation for the next two weeks~!

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.

Daisy

Thanks for looking!

[bspinks]

Here is my NEGATIVE FLOURISH. My inspiration was MEADOW FERN PLACEMATS. I kept it clean and simple with some glimmer mist on the white embossed cardstock after cutting out the Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish die and using the negative for my card. I added some punched flowers in red and platinum stickles for the centers.

[Crafty Julia]

I was inspired by the Daisy pillow and used a coffee sleeve, black eyeshadow box cardboard, and white cardboard for this card. The images are from Inkadinkado, and the mini hearts are in honor of Valentine's Day. Here's Vintage daisies.

[Katchoo1]

Another great site! I am really coming to look forward to this challenge every week. If I am up late Friday night, I check this forum to see what the site is, look through it and save the photos I like. Usually get up in the morning with an idea in mind for a card.

This week, the kids turtle print made me want to try some paper piecing of my own. Here is the result:
