IC33 - Helium Balloon

Inspiration Challenge 33 - Helium Balloon

The idea of the Inspiration Challenge is to train your brain to look at the world around you for ideas. You do *not* need to recreate the piece - let your creative juices run wild! Feel free to change the colors, adjust the layout, or pick a different theme -- this is all up to your own interpretation! There are no rules!

Please add IC33 to your keywords (do not use a space or #). If you have other keywords, use a comma to separate them. Adding the challenge number to the keywords helps us to see all the submissions together.

Be inspired and go get stamping!

Here is mine:

I took my inspiration from one of the panels around the edge. Then I used the blue circle with the greeting inside and the idea to have the animals overlapping the circle.

Wow, am I first? It's a miracle! I'm going to probably sleep on this so I can hopefully think up something real neat. Thanks for posting tonight!

reneejul1 · 07-21-2006, 08:36 PM

OOOO - and I am second. Now off to stamp hopefully!

raduse · 07-21-2006, 08:42 PM

Great challenge. I'll be playing later tonight or tommorrow.

Angela R. · 07-21-2006, 09:28 PM

Gritty V. · 07-21-2006, 11:30 PM

This makes me want to make something other than a card or scrapbook page. Is that allowed?

Someone PM me with the answer please.

KatydidAW · 07-22-2006, 06:36 AM

OK...I have a baby shower to go to in a few hours and I'm making a scrapbook for it. I'm not anywhere near to being done, so I told myself I would not do today's challenge--I'll just look....I'll just look...Yeah right!

Here's me not doing today's challenge...

Thanks for posting, Karen. I had fun with this one - Once I had it together, I put embossing powder all over to make it shine like the one posted.

HELLIUM BIRTHDAY

Hope you like it!

ruby-heartedmom · 07-22-2006, 09:30 AM

Boohoo! Sniffle. We are leaving town until Monday, so I can't play my favorite challenge until Tuesday. Y'all have fun without me!

sleepyinseattle · 07-22-2006, 10:26 AM

This was a fun one! If you take a look at all of the IC33 in the gallery that are on the same page, it is a visual delight. All of the cards are so pretty and colorful and I felt happy seeing them all at once.

I've been gone all day, so I apologize for not answering you sooner!

There are no rules - you can make anything that you are inspired to -- a card, a scrapbook page, a 3D project...anything!

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

lazylizard · 07-22-2006, 05:13 PM

Here's my inspiration challenge:

lacyquilter · 07-22-2006, 08:22 PM

I needed most of the day to think about this one. I had this idea, but didn't know how I wanted to incorporate it into the card. I absolutely love how it turned out. Here's is my copper bliss.

Yvette · 07-24-2006, 05:16 AM

I was inspired by the orange and pink colors in the balloon. But when all was said and done, my card ended up being more green and blue. Here's my card.
