Good Saturday Morning & welcome to the Inspiration Challenge
Today's inspiration comes to you from a fab place suggested to me by my friend, Kia (kiagc). After I checked it out, I agreed, it was full of inspiration. This week's challenge is brought to you by Carlyle Avenue! Head on over & pick something that appeals to you. Be sure to link us up to what inspired you. I think the challenge will be narrowing it down to just one, lol.
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.

NEED HELP GETTING A LINK TO YOUR INSPIRATION PICTURE?
If you are unable to grab the link of your chosen picture, (on some sites, you can't, it only gives a link to the whole collection), hover over the picture in the collection that you want to link to. On a windows machine, right click the picture (on a Mac, 2 finger click). When the options come up, select COPY IMAGE ADDRESS. This link will be for that picture.
What a neat site, gong to go back and look so more...think I better give DH my credit card first thought...:0).

Inspired by the Matches-Cacti for my colors and the Wave Disc Ornament for my texture. After stamping my images and coloring with markers, I sprayed them with water and blotted, followed by embossing. Finished with a double ribbon combo. Here's Bird's Good Day

Oh Julie, what a beautiful site! I've not heard of it but enjoyed all the topiary and plant inspiration, but this photo caught my eye! It was the springboard for my card.
Enjoy drinking my coffee while looking through these site for inspiration. I was inspired by Foraged Flora. Here's my card. Floral by sgc - at Splitcoaststampers
Playing challenge catch-up. I found two items to inspire my card, and I couldn't just choose one because both were inspirations for the card results...one for color and the other for its flowers and shape. Here are my links: for color: Frosted Powder Glass Candle Holder and for flowers/ shape: Wood Shaving Wreath
