Good Saturday Morning & welcome to the Inspiration Challenge. Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I found a wonderful site for us this week, CASPARI. It is filled with all kinds of wonderful things for Christmas but there are some other things if you don't want to make a Christmas creation. I could just go wild with inspiration.
For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many, or too little, images to choose from, I've uploaded 5 (or more) of my favorite designs! So just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. Click on the images below to see them bigger and to get their links on SCS.
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 ~ 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 us on this inspiration journey.

Brenda I love Caspari stuff...especially their napkins. It's all so pretty...hard to chose just one inspiration today. Here's mine...it was so hard to get a good photo...very dreary here today.
I picked so many images just from the Christmas section alone - I might have to do a couple more as it's such an inspiring site! Thanks, Brenda! Meanwhile, here's one:
Brenda- great inspiration, thanks! I was inspired by the Tree with Fireplace...Boxed Christmas Cards and used a cozy scene from a Hambo stamp from my stash. Added a 3-D aspect by layering 2 of the same image. Used an embossed and sparkly background (thanks Mary Ellen!) and added a greeting with a fabric tie. Here's Christmas window

Here is the link to my inspiration: Rattan Oval Tray. The texture in the tray brought my mind right to my Hammered Metal embossing folder, which I thought would be perfect for the background on my card in copper foil!
