Default IC958 - April 13, 2024 - A Beautiful Mess

Good evening all. Kia here to welcome you to the Inspiration Challenge today, where we are visiting A Beautiful Mess and their Pinterest page. I hope you enjoy this site, I certainly did while going through it.

So head on over to her site or Pinterest Board, pick your favorite & go create! Please be sure to link us up to what inspired you.

Gallery IC958
My Card

For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many, or too little, images to choose from, & since some sites have limited viewing areas, I've uploaded MANY images to help inspire you. 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.

**Please note: If you are unable to view the Inspiration Site in your country, please visit their Pinterest Board or use one of the pictures provided for you (thumbnails below). Unfortunately, we have no control over the sites' viewing areas. **

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 LINKING A CARD? FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Open 2 windows. One for your card, one for this thread.
2. In this thread, click on reply and type what you want to show before the link.
3. Go to your card window, highlight the address for your card. (The address bar will say Forums at Splitcoaststampers
4. Click edit. Click Copy.
5. Go back to this thread. Click Paste.


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.

Smile IC958 Bear with Flowers

Great site! Couldn't get my inspiration link to work so here's the bear from the
Woodland Creatures felt mask. I used a bear stamp from the Dec 2020 Beary Comforting set of Paper Pumpkin, adding my own button/twine embellishment. Here's Bear with Flowers

Wow, there was so much on the inspiration site! While on there I saw a beautiful teal color, and it made me think of beautiful water. So I made this card to honor that teal color! Thanks for the fun!

Squirrel CAS790 IC958 Sunrise style- Nuts About You

Kia- had to return for another card- this time inspired by this fall themed holiday table setting- I did a sun rays radiating from the center for my background, adding an additional polka dot border per the CAS challenge today. Here's Sunrise style- Nuts About You. Background is my DS's quilt, with denim from his college jeans
