Inspiration Challenge

**Merry** · 04-01-2010 07:20 AM

Hi everyone....I really liked Mandy's name for this challenge so have decided to create a new thread for the New Year. So here is our first inspiration for the year. This week I am going to pick [COLOR="rgb(255, 140, 0)"]Orange[/COLOR] ....this could be the colour or the fruit, your choice.

Please post photos here of your creations to inspire the rest of the Craftmad group. If you don't have time to create something new maybe you have something from a little while ago that will fill the weekly category. No matter when it was created it will always inspire somewhere here. So please join on in.

I will be posting this Inspiration Challenge in all craft areas so that everyone at Craftmad can be involved.

Enjoy and have fun!!

Here's my orange efforts Merry, the second one was one I made over Christmas, just can't decide whether to add a greeting or leave it blank.

Wow...how striking is the black on the orange and then the green and the white really soften the orange. Wonderful cards Mandy.

Very effective Mandy just love those colours.

I did it...I have done an Orange Card and got to have a go at an Easel Card.

Beautiful card Merry

Lovely cards Mandy! I'd leave them blank for the moment, then when an occasion arises, you can use them for whatever. Hope that makes sense.

This is a Beautiful Card Merry! I've not tried an easel card as yet, I feel inspired. Thank you!

That is a lovely card, Merry, the only easel cards I've made so far are the ones with fold out backs, kind of like a photo frame, have to give this type a go as it looks really effective.

I'm amazed, I only saw this thread this morning, and last night I made this card after buying a card making magazine yesterday and seeing the idea in it.

What a wonderful card Beth...now I have something to add to my list.

Wow Monday sure comes around so quickly. Time for a new Inspiration Theme. This week we are looking for an Asian influence. Have fun and remember to post photos in the appropriate craft section to inspire us all. This can be a project you have just completed or one from years ago.
