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?
Now let's see what you are inspired to make -- and tell us what your inspiration was when you post your card.
Feel free to translate the inspiration item into a card, a scrapbook page, or another project. Be inspired by the colors (earthy), the theme (house, windsock), or anything else -- this is up to your own interpretation!
When I first saw this inspiration, it totally remined me of this card, already in my gallery: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
I didn't want to make anything like that again, so I used the colors, and a little bit of the layout, to come up with this one:
Karen if that is a painting...well I have been an artist since about 1st grade! I could have been making tons of money and didn't know it. That's the whole picture or did you crop it?
I have an idea and hope to get to it tomorrow.

The painting (at least I think it is) -- I found at art.com; and as far as I can tell that is the whole thing (I kept the "item number" so I can look it up if you like). I agree though, when I first saw it I was "ew", but when I really looked at just the lines I thought it had potential.
I thought I had a great idea and went to the stamp room this afternoon and totally bombed! Some attempts are just like that, well for me anyway. So if I get time I�ll give it another try tomorrow because I have this new stamp that I think would be perfect.
I've had a lot going on the last couple of weeks, so I'm a little behind in some of the challenges. I'll have to work on this one (& last week's!). Thanks for the inspiration.
Karen, as luck would have it I was reading a thread you posted to when my email notification came in for this photo approval...easy hook up to your thread here from your signature, thanks!
I got one done and I had a hard time because I was trying to incorporate a door into my card and nothing was working out. So in thinking that the card I made was inspired by my Dad and his favorite side of the door was to the outside...well I decided this would work and I hope you like it it! At least the bottom half is green like the painting!
Ok here's mine. I looked mostly at the windsock and the angle it is at. Plus some of the coloring. My card doesn't look a whole lot like the pic, but as soon as I saw the painting, I knew what I wanted to do.
Okay, I've never done one of the inspiration challenges, but I think I might give it a try! I'm gonna go to my mailbox first to see if some stamps I ordered have arrived...
