One neat thing about this hobby is inspiration is everywhere! I've been inspired by brochures from a doctor's office, the colors of the walls and furnishings in a café, the pattern in someone's shirt, a billboard or advertisement. Recently I was inspired by an ad in a local newspaper. I liked the silhouette (I think it’s an Elk. But I might be wrong. I’m a stamper not a game warden or hunter!) and wanted to cut one from cardstock to add to a card front. Scanned the ad and then was able to reduce the size of the silhouette to fit an A2 card. After fussy cutting the image I mounted it onto a A2 sized piece of vellum, which I adhered to a calendar scene. Will attach a sentiment when needed especially since I never seem to have enough masculine cards.


My challenge for you is to create a card that is inspired by something you have seen. If you can add a photo of the scene, items, etc. that inspired you that would be great. If not, just tell us about it. Have fun!

Kathy, so glad you were inspired to copy, cut and paste that image because it is a striking card! Thank you for hosting this week.

Your masculine card is stunning, Kathy. Very manly, indeed! This is a thought provoking challenge. i'm already mulling over an idea.

KATHY Wow!!!! You worked hard on this card. And it shows. Very nice masculine card.

Kathy, I am amazed at both your inspiration and how you created it! Fantastic card. This one is going to take some thinking.

Well done Kathy your inspiration card turned out awesome and love how you used a calendar for your background.
great challenge......now to see what will inspire me...

My inspiration came from these Fat Quarters and Molly's Favors..
Last week I had to make 20 favors for Molly's birthday party...so I still had the Fat Quarters on my counter in the craft room,
so I made a crazy quilt card...
I kept staring at my card all afternoon then I decided to add gold strips in the seams...I like it better!

Very nicely done, Terrie! I love some of the beautiful fabrics used on her favors, as well as your beautiful card.

My inspiration are my two grandchildren. Since Halloween is coming I made bags to fill with candy for my sweet boys.

Terri, your card is darling. You did a lot of work for Molly, very cute
