Challenge Title: (Subway)Art with Heart
Hostess: Ashjoy aka Joyce
Keyword: HYCCT1329
Date: Tuesday, October 29th, 2013

Hello everyone one and welcome to the (Subway)Art with Heart challenge! Subway Art is simply any art you see on the street that isn’t graffiti. Think bill boards, kiosk signs, the sides of busses ect. All you need to take this challenge is a piece of subway art as your inspiration (or you can use the photo below) and of course to put a little of your heart into it! If you choose to use your own inspiration piece please be sure to link it in your description and tell us how you used it.

This is my inspiration piece.


And this is my sample.


And here are a few samples from this years HYCCT designers.

My inspiration came from going to the city during the holidays, decorations, lamp posts, traffic lights and hoping these candles keep burning until we find a cure~

I wasn't sure where to go with this at first but then just looking through my book of stamped images gave me my idea. I made my own word/phrase collage.

Gratitude Graffiti

[muscrat]

If someone doesn't have any stamp that would work, could they print your inspiration piece and use it? I did that at first and loved how it came out, but then I wasn't sure it was okay. I still was inspired by your piece and all those words lead me to this: HYCCT1329 Survivor by muscrat - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

My first thought was Subway sandwiches...then I thought of the subway of halls underground at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester...


Not sure what I'll use other than pink background paper...and the pink breast cancer logo die...that I haven't used yet that I bought on clearance specifically to use this month...3 days left to use it!!!!

[muzbysmom]

Here's my subway art card. I made up my words focal image on my computer.

Thanks so much Stacy....really made this card much easier. Linda

[Crafty Julia]

Joyce- great challenge! I was inspired by Old City Hall in Bellingham, Washington- with its intricate architecture, warm brown tones, and historic character. I used PB's Uplifting for my stamped image, and did a sunburst effect as my background. Added a heart fabric midline stripe and a loopy double ribbon border. Here's Lace Hammock and My inspiration for Lace Hammock

[catdidit]

I LOVE the subway art trend! So totally enjoyed doing this challenge! At first, I printed off a free printable (link is in my description of photo) And here that card is:

Autumn Subway Art

then since I felt like I cheated I made my own 'subway art' , LOL! Just grabbed a bunch of different stamp sets, picked out sentiments I liked and stamped away! Here it is:

Joy in Friendship Subway Art

Thanks again for the inspiration Joyce and TFL!

[One4Joy]

This was such fun, Joyce. I've got a budding subway ARTist
in the gallery today! May you have lots of time for encouraging others.

[Crafty Julia]

I was inspired by the colorful "pop art" style mural in downtown Bellingham, Washington-
I went for a tropical theme and used a brightly colored floral card, along with polka dot dp and purple fabric- here's Wild About You

[cjzim]

Good challenge today, although I'm not sure I really "get" subway art - I hope my card fits the category!

Fight Like a Girl

[ohmypaper!]

Thank you Joyce, for the fun challenge! I don't have a lot of time to play today so I went with an easy card using paper that in Subway Art print!

Haha! I just wrote my card title here and realized it was quite awful....so here is the new title! Pink Ribbon Subway Art

[ashjoy]

Hi all, the gallery is looking awesome!

Subway art is just for inspiration, you can choose anything you like from the inspiration piece. It can be as simple as the colors, the design, making your own collage with stamps or printing one from the Internet like I did. The most important part is to have fun and enjoy the process of making a card for an awesome cause!

[Clownmom]

I hope my card qualifies for this challenge. I was unfamiliar with the subway art theme.

Thank You Apples

[janeenk]

Here's mine Joyce. It was fun to find out what subway art is. Not sure i still know but I kind of get the picture. Learned something new today and that's what counts.

I thought this was going to be a challenge for me due to lack of text stamps. I was wrong, I found lots of Christmas text =)
