IC69 - Picasso
Inspiration Challenge 69 - Pablo Picasso - IC69
Apparently some people just can't get enough of the April Fools jokes (you know who you are), so in honor of this weekend's fun day, let's have a little fun!
This simple line drawing is done by Pablo Picasso - not exactly what I think of when I think Picasso. If you really are just not inspired by Mr. Camel, then create a card that isn't your normal style (these are challenges remember *wink*) or at least a funny card. Enjoy!
Please use the IC69 keyword when uploading your card (no space b/n IC and the challenge number).
There are no rules, so let your creative juices run wild -- be *inspired* and go get stamping! View the attached image. You may be inspired to recreate the piece - but that isn't necessary...get your inspiration from the colors, layout, or 'theme'. Don't worry - no card is 'wrong'!
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). Thank you.

hee hee, y'all are being so polite I know this is a stretch and I appreciate your willingness to give it a go! Don't wait for a switch-a-roo this year, it won't be coming...this *is* the challenge!
Oops, I thought you were off thinking already. Hi Melinda !
Yeah, right Joni. Soooooo, what is Joni thinking????:mrgreen: Hopefully, no one paid big bucks (I know I'm dreaming) for that drawing. That is soooooo not Picaso to me. Looks like I'm pulling the doodles back out.

This was defintly different. I made my card as a thanks to all you wonderful ladies who are so talented and who also make me smile when I look through the gallery and read some of the comments!! Simple black and white. Here it is:
O.K. I guess I'm a bit of a black and white thinker - Karen, this is a great challenge. I happened to love "Mr. Camel" and was thinking wire, wire, what?!! No black wire, ARRG. So out of the deep depths of accessory deprivation came this card...definitely a stretch for me because I don't like putting pen to paper (I would stamp my signature if I could!) Hope you like it...

Thanks for the challenge Karen, it's the first time I have done the Inspiration Challenge, but it was lots of fun. My card looks nothing like the drawing, but it's amazing how one image can inspire everyone in a different way.

I hope that you don't judge by this particular challenge...it was intentionally a little hard. I know many people do find the Inspiration Challenge a bit, well, challenging. But since there really aren't any rules (as long as your card was inspired, however round-about) a lot of people find the IC pretty freeing.
Looks like you found quite a bit inspiration ;) Thanks for playing!!
