IC149 ~ Mizue Hirano {10-11-08}
Inspiration Challenge 149 ~ Mizue Hirano
This week�s inspiration challenge was suggested by Katie (
pbvkt ). She sent me a PM with a link to some fabulous creations by Japanese watercolor artist
Mizue Hirano .
I have uploaded several of her designs, but feel free to use any of images from
her website or just her overall style for your inspiration.
Use the keyword: IC149 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.
My sample ~ Pink Coffee Mug Rings IC149 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. 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.

Oh wow. Very cool. This is going to be fun. I mean you could just color spritz a few colors onto a white piece of paper and voila! I'll see what I can come up with. Thank you for this great challenge Stef.

Hi! GREAT challenge! I totally have to give all the PROPS to Speedy the Cat though....HE came up with the stamp set idea and I just went with it. Of course I had to clean up the dining room table, my laptop, the carpet under the table....LOL!

On page 7 of Ms. Hirano's blog is a photo of the piece I cased. I linked it in my description, but for some reason, her blog always opens to page 1. Sorry. Anywho - here's mine:

Thanks, Stef - you sure come up with some good ones!

Good morning everybody and happy Saturday. What a fun challenge this way. I love Mizue Hirano's gallery and the colors were fab. Thank you for looking at what I've made and I hope you enjoy it. Have a great day and God bless you. I'll be back for comments after I get my chores done.
