Inspiration Challenge 81 - Artwork - IC81

I am posting a bit early because I've been gone all day and if I don't do it now, it won't be posted til late tomorrow

I found this artwork entitled Within Romance by Mari Giddings at art.com. I thought it was quite funky and would generate a lot of different results.

I haven't done my sample yet...hopefully I'll have some stamping time tomorrow.

How to Play 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'! 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). Thank you.

This is a hard one. Have a couple of thoughts on it, but too tired to work on it tonight. Hopefully I can do it tomorrow.

OK, Karen - that was something else!!! What a fun piece! This is the best I can do this early in the morning - I went with some of the colors, squares and swirls -

Didn't care for the artwork but I'm lovin' MY CARD . So I guess I will have to appreciate art afterall. smiles

2katjes · 06-23-2007, 07:52 AM

Fun challenge. I didn't end up where I thought I would be when I started, but that is what makes this challenge so cool. And I think I now have a card I can actually give to someone. Here is my IC81 Flutterby card.

deipara · 06-23-2007, 08:11 AM

I got mine done!!!

It was a great piece for inspiration Karen! Thank you!!!

Birthday Thank You cards

wannabcre8tive · 06-23-2007, 08:20 AM

Oh my gosh, this is the ugliest card. I was hoping after I slept something better would came to my pea brain. All I could see was the swirls, mossaic, circle and the colors. I decided it was so ugly that an old dead tree was the only stamp I had that was suited for it. Brace yourself for this one.

DeborahLynneS · 06-23-2007, 08:46 AM

Fun challenge-- a very inspirational piece of work!!!! I had an idea for a new sketch about a month ago, and hadn't worked it out until now-- seemed to fit this challenge nicely--

Thanks for looking!!!

javagirl984 · 06-23-2007, 08:52 AM

This is my first submission to the IC. I've been checking out this thread every Saturday and this is the first time I had a chance to participate. Very interesting piece of art. It really got my creative side of the brain working.

Thanks for the challenge!

Hope you're doing well - front
Hope you're doing well - inside

lacyquilter · 06-23-2007, 09:07 AM

I love this art piece and I totally love my card. Here it is: checked flourish.

paws2ink · 06-23-2007, 09:40 AM

I just went thru the submissions, and HOLY COW, you are all amazing! I think this challenge has brought out some of the best art I have seen produced on this site. I knew you all were great, but Jeez, this is has brought out the stunning in all of you!

snowmanqueen · 06-23-2007, 10:04 AM

What a great challenge, this really made you think! Wasn't going to do a challenge today, but raining all day! Glad I did, it proved to be interesting.
