IC178 ~ Faviana Prom Dresses {05-02-09}

Inspiration Challenge 178 ~ Faviana Prom Dresses

It’s that time of year again … Prom … and I love seeing all of the fun, vibrant, and unique prom dresses that the ladies are wearing this year. This week we’re going to be inspired by the fabulous prom dresses by Faviana.

For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many choices, I have uploaded three of my favorite dresses from the website as well as linked to the dress that inspired my card … so just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration.

For the rest of you, feel free to use any of the Faviana prom dresses for your inspiration. Just remember to link us to a picture of the dress that inspired your creation.

Use the keyword: IC178 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

My sample ~ Make the Ride Worthwhile inspired by Style 6437

IC178 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.

GREAT challenge!! !WOW!!!!

I had a difficult time choosing a dress! These are GORGEOUS!!! BTW...When did all the dresses get so sleek??? I had a big 'o' Southern belle type....

Here is my card for today!!!http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...&ppuser=155560

Okay...so I hope this works. My daughter just went to her senior prom and we purchased her dress online as she is a tiny thing and has difficulty getting stuff to fit. Bailey is in the blue and her friend Holly is in the purple. My Bailey's dress was my favorite! Thanks for letting me share! She looked like a movie star!

[Biggan]

Thanks Stef! I love the inspiration you´re giving us! I´ve done two cards this morning! Here they are!

I was quite surprised at the dresses. Like Faith said, I wore a big southern belle type dress. And like Melody said, I can't imagine allowing 18 year olds to dress like that. Yikes!

Anyway, I found a dress in the Classic collection that I'd like to use as my inspiration. Is that OK?

Ooops... I just found it in the prom section, too. Silly me.

Good morning!

Ohhh, looks very interesting. Maybe I'll get to play if the storms stop. I should of played last night but I'm trying not to stay up all night...not good for me. Thanks Stef.

[tankgrl]

I have to agree with some of you, those dresses are beautiful, but nothing that our Mom's would have let us wear let alone pay for. Yikes is right! I'll be back later with something I hope. Thanks Steph!

[MelodyGal]

What gorgeous dresses! I have at least been inspired to eat less today. LOL! (How long will that last?) I need a wedding card and will try to come up with something. Thanks, Stef.

[Vicky Gould]

Forget the dresses! I want one of those bodies, yea, right! Anyway, here's mine:

You find great inspirations! I do not often do this challenge - guess i am not creative enough, but when I saw the blue dress I realized I could do this!
