 Welcome to Inkspirational; we're delighted you're joining us.

For the next two weeks (Oct. 10 - 23), we invite you to play along in our Clean and Simple (CAS) Challenge with the optional twist of PLAID.

To help you out, here's what we'll be looking for on your Clean and Simple designs:

✅ One main focal point

✅ Lots of OPEN space (doesn't 'have' to be white)

✅ Minimal Layers

✅ Minimal Embellishments

We look forward to seeing your CAS creations - with or without the twist - in the gallery.

The Link will be open until October 23 @ 11:59pm (GMT)

We will be back on Saturday, October 17 with a Reminder Post and Top Picks from Challenge #377.

NOTE: In the spirit of being supportive of other challenges, please consider heading over to AAA Cards Challenge and Simply Clean and Simple Challenge where CAS is their specialty. You'll see fabulous inspiration from their teams - as you do with ours. If you decide to join the AAA Cards Challenge, a new Colour Challenge begins on Oct. 11 and runs for two weeks.  At Simply Clean and Simple, the theme is always Anything Goes, with optional twists; they run for a month. If you share at either of these challenges, please be sure to share with us, too.

  Welcome to our two part post.

Second, we had 33 entries to celebrate our Furry Friends for Challenge #376. Dogs, cats, bunnies, mice, hedgehogs, even a fuzzy monster made an appearance! You truly shared your creativity in selecting an assortment of delightful animals to be the stars of the show!  As always, selecting Top Picks is a challenge - but one we're delighted to have. Thank you, again, for embracing our challenge with enthusiasm! 

Our Top Picks:

Suzanne

Suzanne brought an entire gang of adorable furry friends to the challenge - and how cute are they howling out a friendly 'hello' to the lucky person receiving this card. 

Lynda/Loopylou

Lynda's Kitty Capers card is filled with an abundance of cute. She's certainly captured a variety of kitty antics beautifully.

Deanna

Deanna's layout showcases fabulous photos of those things that make her Saturdays special - and it was especially wonderful to see Zoe, her 'real' furry friend, stealing the show! 

Loll

Loll's paper snow drift and lightly inked sky creates a delightful background for her absolutely adorable winter bunny. The scarf and gifts add to the overall charm of her card.

Congratulations to our Top Picks; please take your badge.

Inkspirational Challenge #377 - Visual Prompt - Fall and Halloween Cupcakes

Welcome to Inkspirational; we're delighted you're joining us.

For the next two weeks (Sept. 26 - Oct. 9), we invite you to draw inspiration from the fabulous Fall + Halloween cupcakes image below. The Fall designs, with their warm autumn colours, pumpkins, plaid, leaves, sunflowers, acorns, mushrooms and cozy harvest details, and the "spooky" touches of the Halloween cupcakes, featuring ghosts, spiders, bats, black cats, ravens and moonlit skies, means possibilities galore. And check out the colours and textures, too.

With so much choice, we're excited to see where this prompt takes you!
