Inspiration Challenge 129 ~ Schumacher Advertising

I love to find inspiration from advertisements. This week�s inspiration challenge comes from ads for interior design company F. Schumacher & Co. I was drawn to their beautiful combination of color, texture and pattern.

Have fun!

Make sure you use the keyword: IC129 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card.

My sample ~ Good Ones

IC129 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). Thank you for joining me on this inspiration journey.

I was uploading my card for the challenge from last week and noticed this thread. I love the furnture and fabrics. I want the blue and green sets. Gorgeous!!! I will have to sleep on this and hopefully wake up with an idea.

Ooo, I'm in the top 10! Great inspirations Stef, I'll work on this tomorrow.

Thanks for posting early!! I hope to get to play this weekend; no baseball, no dance, no travel, hubby at work . . . and skys are gray at the moment!

Oooh! I love this one Stephanie! Can't wait to get started!!

I picked the blue fabric and needed a solid flower stamp. Best Blossoms seemed to work. Here is my card -- http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...23798?cat=5563 -- which also qualifies for this week's sketch challenge.

I think this is the first time I've done the Inspiration Challenge on Friday night. Thanks, Steph, for getting it posted early enough for me to do this.

These fabrics are so rich and beautiful! Thanks for the awesome inspiration, Stef.
