IC192 ~ Bellacor Vases {08-08-09}

Inspiration Challenge 192 ~ Bellacor Vases

This week’s inspiration challenge was suggested by Dara. She discovered lots of fun vases on Bellacor, and thought they would be an awesome source for inspiration. Please keep your inspiration limited to the vases (there are 1,564 to choose from, so I don’t think you’ll have trouble finding something that inspires you).

For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many choices, I have uploaded three of my favorites … so just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. For the rest of you, remember to link us up to the vase from Bellacor that inspired you.

Use the keyword: IC192 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

Dara's sample ~ Shapely Asian Vase

My sample ~ Lime Rickey Bloom

IC192 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.

Cool site. Of course I had to meander around in other parts besides the vases -- could spend hours on there. I'll have to play tomorrow - I've found a few vases that inspire me. Thanks, Stef.

I just loved that third thumbnail. Loved the first one too, but couldn't find a way into making a card from it.
Here's mine - a bit feeble after a stressful week!
