Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
This week we have a wonderfully romantic inspiration site which is STOCKED with beautiful inspirations, color palettes, and delightful creative energy! I know you will love browsing and being inspired at The Perfect Palette. By featuring only the most thoughtfully curated content, and by bringing heartfelt advice and creativity to every post, it is a blog where couples can find ideas and advice for planning their dream wedding. The Perfect Palette is a blog dedicated to exploring color palette possibilities for weddings and parties, yet I believe it is any designer's dream come true inspiration site! From inspiration boards, to color tips, The Perfect Palette is all about sharing ways that color can be used to bring creative party planning ideas to life!
Challenge Goals:
Don't be tempted to upload a card that you have made prior to this challenge, just because an image reminds you of it. :cool: Rather, take the challenge of allowing your creative juices to flow based on your impressions when you look through the images. Remember, it can just be the color palette or style that ignites your creativity. Whatever draws you to the designs, take the challenge of doing something uniquely inspired today.
Please remember that all inspiration links should be inspired by images from the The Perfect Palette, however you will note that she stores her images with a URL prefix of "http://s24.photobucket.com/user/chrissymarie98" so it's fine if your URLs are coming from Photo Bucket as long as they come from ChrissyMarie98th uploads. Just right click on the images and select "copy image link" for the right URL.
Use the keyword: IC449 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.
For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many images to choose from, I've uploaded five of my favorites...so just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. Click on the images below to see them bigger. Please let us know which photo served as your inspiration piece please.
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.

Audrie- awesome site, I had so much fun- was influenced by the Nautical I Do's - in particular, the grooms' placecards-I used SU's Boatloads of Love for my tugboat image, heart and sentiment- and being a repurposing gal, employed a white striped hospital band and a corrugated coffee sleeve for color and texture. Added a combo of blue and yellow ribbon with rough twine behind my heart image. Here's U Float My Boat, dedicated to my DH who so loves sailing!

I ws inspired by both the nautical themes and the Perfect Palette- Mint meets glittery gold- I used some High Hopes stamps- On Guard Oberto, Peg Leg Pete, and Treasure Map- and added a bronze embossed background. Finished with a moss green velveteen and gold ribbon tie combo. Here's Golden Treasure
