Inspiration Challenge 289 ~ Italian Pottery Outlet


This week�s inspiration challenge was suggested by Judy (StampingQueenJAR) who thought that the Italian Pottery Outlet had lost of design & inspiration possibilities. I loved all of the wonderful texture and color combination.

For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many choices, I�ve uploaded five of my favorites � so just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. The rest of you, remember to let us know which item from Italian Pottery Outlet that inspired you.

Use the keyword: IC289 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

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. Remember, if you are inspired by the creation of another artist, please do not use print-outs of the art in your creation or directly copy their work. 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.

Another great site, Stef. I adore Italian pottery and when I was in Italy made a point to get to Deruta....one of the pottery centers. So I really enjoyed going through this site. I'm still in need of 4th of July cards so I did a card in that theme.
