IC50 - Store Bought Card

kthaman · 11-17-2006, 07:25 PM

Inspiration Challenge 50 - Store Bought Card

This beautiful card front was submitted by Cary (aka Miss Minx). I'm such a sucker for sunflowers I couldn't say no

I'm helping my mom do a craft fair Saturday so my card will have to wait (wish us luck!!). But, seeing as I do love sunflowers, I will defintely have one soon.

Oh, and for those who like to be teased - my 1 year challenge is coming up after Thanksgiving. I'm going to have a little contest - with prizes!! (Thanks Joyclynn (aka Twget) for helping me with that!!)

There are no rules, so let your creative juices run wild -- be *inspired* and go get stamping!

REMINDER: Please put IC50 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 (unless, of course, you are a Fan Club member - yet another reason to spend a little on your favorite site). Thank you!!

The brain is already working and it's a sunflower so it sure won't be hard for me. Thanks Karen and good luck at the show!

Woohoo...I know it's late (11:06 p.m.) but I saw this sunflower and an idea popped in my head. I don't even OWN any sunflower stamps, so I made one up. I'm proud of myself...I didn't even go looking at any for ideas...this is my original:
Sparkley Sunflower

raduse · 11-17-2006, 10:12 PM

Oh yeah, I can so do this sick or not.

raduse · 11-17-2006, 10:42 PM

Ok, here's mine. I know it's late but had to get this done. Turned out brighter than I had originally planned.

TERRORE3 · 11-18-2006, 04:00 AM

awww man this is awesome. So now I know I'll have to fit it in later today. I'll be running until late afternoon though. Too funny, the other day a friend of mine was just asking me about sunflower stamps and if I had any. she may want to borrow the one I have but she'll have to wait know until I get to this challenge. teeheee. I haven't used it in a very long time and now I can't wait.. cool Ic karen.

Vicky Gould · 11-18-2006, 04:27 AM

Good one, Karen. I needed a birthday card today and this just worked out perfectly!! Beautiful inspiration piece!

Wonderful reason

Thanks for looking.

jstarbright · 11-18-2006, 04:57 AM

It's a good thing I woke up early this morning so I could get started on this one. Does anyone else notice the cards created from this challenge take a long time to complete ? I don't know why but I am so involved with my IC card, maybe that is the whole point in creating from an Inspirational art challenge. Anyway, I just love this challenge and seeing what everyone creates from the sample. It is like seeing an Art Gallery right from home !

badmom66666 · 11-18-2006, 07:20 AM

woohooo, all alone and some lonely stamps hanging around!

lacyquilter · 11-18-2006, 08:15 AM

Well, this took all of forever, because I changed directions halfway through. Here's change in mid-flight.

Anna741 · 11-18-2006, 09:44 AM

Mothermark · 11-18-2006, 09:55 AM

That is a beautiful card. I simply have no large butterfly stamps. My stamp room is just full of so much stuff you can't imagine....and I don't have what I need! Unbelievable.....my DH can't seem to believe it either!

Here's my card:

Rox71 · 11-18-2006, 05:05 PM

The card didn't take that long to create but the body took a long time getting to it today, too many other duties needing my attention but it's done. Thanks Karen!

Here's my card

twget · 11-18-2006, 05:09 PM

Karen, with getting back into the workforce, I have been to busy to play the last few weeks

but I will be SURE to check out the anniversary fun! Do you think an IC is an acceptable reason to call off work? LOL

kthaman · 11-18-2006, 05:11 PM

LOL, definitely sounds like a good reason to take off from work

Maybe I'll have to make the contest extra hard so you *have* to work at it! lol

bensarmom · 11-18-2006, 05:51 PM

Here's mine.......Sunflowers and Butterflies.

badmom66666 · 11-18-2006, 06:32 PM

big old sunflowers , lot of stuff going on in this card but I did the sunflowers in pearlex adn they look pretty darn good If I don;t say so myself! lol

StamperSharon · 11-18-2006, 07:44 PM

Thanks for the great challenge I needed to finish this card today, Karen! Here's my Serene Thanksgiving card . . . thanks for looking!

Maddy Mason · 11-18-2006, 08:17 PM

Mine, too, kept evolving and changing, and it took me half a day to finish it, but I guess I'm pleased with the results. Thanks, Karen, for an exciting challenge!

.... and a wonderful challenge indeed! Thank you for the inspiration, I love what everyone has made. http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...0&ppuser=42694

lizb · 11-20-2006, 12:51 PM

This was fun. It took a while to finish as I had to wait for the glitter glue to dry before I could stick the butterfly on the flower.
