Inspiration Challenge 75 - Candle Holders - IC75

Thank you Stef (aka SmilynStef) for sharing these Candle Holders from the Coldwater Creek catalog.

My sample: Smile
View Submissions

Please use the IC75 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.

Now that I got that out of the way-thank you for cool inspiration. I am headed off to bed but have a good plan for the a.m. We will see if it looks as cool on paper as it does in my head right now, LOL.

Thank you for the inspiration!

it was all about the timing-my Saturday mornings are usually pretty hectic so I thought I would do a quick check before bed, LOL.

Thank you for the inspiration!

That's my plan too! I think I know what I wanna do, but we'll see if my "muse" cooperates. Night ladies!

That cold medicine does do marvelous stuff

deipara · 05-11-2007, 08:08 PM

Oooo... ideas, ideas. I can't wait!

Wendybell · 05-11-2007, 08:09 PM

Ooooh pretty!! May hafta try this one!

raduse · 05-11-2007, 08:09 PM

Very pretty inspiration Karen.

markie's mom · 05-11-2007, 08:21 PM

This looks fun, but I'm too pooped! LOL!

ruby-heartedmom · 05-11-2007, 08:30 PM

I didn't get to play last week. DS graduated from college! DD graduates from high school next week. Busy times. MAYbe I'll get a chance to play. I've got an idea, anyway. Thanks for the inspiration!

stampinupconsultan · 05-11-2007, 08:53 PM

this is definitely an interesting one.. I think it may be time to pull out that retired plaid maker... I think I will have to dust it off first, but might just come in handy for this one.... LOL

StampingQueenJAR · 05-11-2007, 08:56 PM

This looks really fun -- I will have to sleep on it -- hopefully I will wake up with a great idea!!

allee's · 05-11-2007, 09:03 PM

Not quite what I envisioned, but inspired by the candle holders, nonetheless.

reneejul1 · 05-11-2007, 09:05 PM

Well, I'll be stamping in the morning! P.S. - I would LOVE those candle holders

Cammie · 05-11-2007, 09:06 PM

Thanks for the great challenge Karen and Stef.
Great candles!

Here is my inspired:
You Light Up My Life

Happy Mother's Day weekend!

lacyquilter · 05-11-2007, 09:22 PM

What fabulous candle holders! Thanks, Karen. I see some great potential here. Hope I can translate the ideas in my head onto card stock. Just got home from a workshop and I really need to go to bed, so hopefully I'll get a chance to play in the morning.

~CA~ · 05-12-2007, 02:28 AM

I'm gonna give this one a shot.

Vicky Gould · 05-12-2007, 03:15 AM

Cool candle holders, Karen! Thanks for posting early.
IRL, the blue stripes are a blue metallic paper and there are microbeads around the mosaic. It really does sparkle!

Thanks for looking - don't forget to leave comments for others (me too!)

DawnL · 05-12-2007, 03:23 AM

neat-o....thanks Karen and Stef

Clownmom · 05-12-2007, 04:03 AM

I had time before a workshop today to try today's challenge. I have never had a whole lot of luck with Cracked Glass -- but the mosaics pretty much screamed that technique to me. Thanks, Karen, for making me try it one more time.

Here's my card --

Had time for a quick card this morning. Needed something for a boy's birthday. Great timing. Ahoy Matey

dpierstamper · 05-12-2007, 08:09 AM

Now that I have my ds's graduation announcements finished and mailed I had to return to the challenges for a break from mass production. Am always looking for ways to make cards that fit in a standard envelope. The candle inspiration gave me an idea for a 6 x 6 card with an off center fold. Also needed a graduation card for this afternoon. The sentiments are from the $1 bin at Michaels.

This is my card for combined challenges LSC115 and IC75. I was gone all day yesterday so I didn't get a chance to play.

Thanks for looking!
