Inspiration Challenge 380~ Spoonflower

This week's SplitCoast Stampers Inspiration Challenge Site was suggested by Hilda ( Broom ). She thought Spoonflower would be a perfect inspiration site because there are styles for every type of stamper � and I wholeheartedly agree.

Spoonflower makes it possible for individuals to design, print & sell their own fabric, wallpaper and wall decals. Remember, out of respect for the creative originality of these talented artisans, please do not print out photos of the items to use directly on your project or copy a design exactly.

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 design from Spoonflower that inspired you.

Use the keyword: IC380 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

Broom�s 1st sample ~ Dreamer with a Red Umbrella

Broom�s 2nd sample ~ Swallowtail Sympathy

Broom�s 3rd sample ~ Tardis Destiny

My sample ~ Bee Happy

IC380 Gallery

*** Gallery Search isn't working quite right, so make sure you add a link to your card in this post, so we can check it out ***

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.

Thanks for taking my suggestion... I hope everyone else has as much fun as I did browsing through Spoonflower!

Stef, I loved this site. There were so many to choose from! Here's my card .
When I saw the title of this I thought we were going to have to make flowers with spoons! LOL I guess it's time for sleep.

What a fun site!! I'm wishing they were selling designer papers!!

Here are my Easter bunnies .

[Crafty Julia]

Love this site- I especially liked Spoonflower's Hydrangea Petals in black and white with its tightly clustered flowers- I used Graphic 45's Christmas Past for my vintage dp- and red and white diagonally striped dp. Added a cool classic holly and berry image from Eco Green Crafts- and my sentiment comes from PTI's Fillable Frames II. Finished with a double button/bow combo, and a sparkly white heart. Here's Vintage Holly Thanks
