IC43 - Blouse
Inspiration Challenge 43 - Blouse
I found this Tommy Bahama Floral Campshirt online at Nordstrom's.
There are no rules, so let your creative juices run wild -- be *inspired* and go get stamping!
REMINDER: Please put IC43 in the keywords box when you upload your card (no space b/n IC and the challenge number) . If you have more than one keyword use a comma to separate them. Thanks!
Don't forget about No Upload Sunday Let's give the gallery moderators a day off and not upload on Sunday. Thank you!!
What a great blouse, Karen. Not sure when I'll get to play. Won't be home tomorrow for most of the day. And I should really go to bed, since I have to get up early. Love your card.
When I first saw the blouse, it made me think of the card I recently made for fall. Colors are somewhat different. Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
Now must go make another card. Great colors in that blouse.

Wow, the colors are too cool together. Kinda like a mix of the tropics and fall but I know I don't have Island Blossoms so will see what I can come up with on this rainy morning
Oh my, this was really fun . . . can you imagine . . . I used Really Rust with Pink Passion! I don't know that this is something I would have done on my own!! Thanks for the great challenge, Karen!
Best Blossoms gone amuck!! -- LOL -- But you're right. It screams Best Blossoms. My sister is visiting this weekend. We're both going to give it a try. Be back later with our results.
Best Blossoms is what spoke to me, too......should be interesting to see all the different versions of this one.....thanks, Karen, for another great challenge
So glad to be home on a Saturday for a change so I can take part in the challenge. I loved all the wonderful colors today, Karen!! Thanks for this great inspiration!!
We are heading out of town for the weekend...so I can't play. But my first thought when I looked at the picture was..."what the heck is growing out of the models neck????" LOL Have a great weekend, can't wait to see what you all come up with.
It's amazing how many patterns in fabrics around us look like Best Blossoms--maybe that's where the SU! stamp designer got their inspiration?!? (just kidding)
Actually, I had just uploaded a card inspired by a SKIRT that looked like it had been done with Best Blossoms and discovered this challenge AFTER I uploaded. I couldn't resist coming here to look at all the samples you all came up with. They are great!
I didn't want to say it, but my first impression wasn't good, but I am keeping an open mind and seeing how it makes my creative juices flow.
I can't wait to see what the amazing SCSer's come up with though!

I will try to make something for it though. I have designated this weekend as "Card Candy" weekend! I am whipping up a few batches for gifts etc.
I got mine done from the blouse that reminds of my mother.
She wore a fall leaf printed blouse to get her photo taken and sat in front of a leafy fall background and all we saw was this head and arms in a bunch of leaves!
Here's my card for the challenge. Loved the bright colors, although my scanner washed them out a bit. I really liked how the vines interwove on the blouse, so tried to add some perky swirls in there. This one is going to my SIL who just found out her mom has breast cancer. Wanted to do something bright and cheery and this challenge was the perfect inspiration.
oops.. Forgot to post in this thread again with a link to my card. It's not the first time and knowing that my mind continues to go at an alarming rate, surely will not be the last time this will happen...:rolleyes:
Okay so here's my card: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
