Welcome to The Card Concept! Each week we offer up a challenge for you to try, and we hope that you will create a card in one of the styles we have offered here. The team is divided into the different styles and each designer explains how they were inspired by the challenge! So come and join us and try your hand at a brand new "style" of card making or work in your comfort zone, it is totally up to you!
Feel free to use any of the styles of our team or better yet, share you own style by combining one or more of the styles. We want you to have fun and make a card in a style that you feel good about!
The styles are explained HERE.
The designers have entered their cards below and they have explained the style they used and the way they were inspired...
This month we are focusing on Clean and Graphic designs. Clean & Graphic Designs are unmistakable--clear and to the point, minimal frill, images and lines that are bold and striking. For the month of June we have talented Hannelie Bester joining us from across the globe. If you haven't visited her blog, Dessert Diva, you are in for a treat. Her designs stand out and pop off the page, always clean and simple with a graphic twist. We are thrilled to have the very sweet Hannelie joining us this month.

Love the butterfly theme!
ReplyDeleteWell this is my first time here and I was so focused on colors and getting the concept right that even though I loved the butterflies I see I forgot to get one on my card. I've said in the past that I'm not the do over girl and I see today I haven't changed. If you need to delete me that's o.k. and I'll try again on the next challenge. I'm a pretty quick learner so I think I'll get it right next time.
ReplyDeleteNo need to use a butterfly, Beverly! It's how you are inspired by the photo that matters. Thanks for playing along with us!
DeleteI noticed in the rules that I'm suppose to comment on the card in front of me and behind me. So, I tried to comment on the one before me, but it's a link to Split Coast Stampers, where I'm not a member, so I couldn't leave a comment. Sorry! I left a bunch of other comments on other cards in the link list, though....
ReplyDeleteFabulous inspiration from the design team, loved this challenge :)
ReplyDeleteSUCH a compelling photo this time!! And how wonderful to have my very talented friend Hannelie as your Guest Designer!! Each card for each style is a magnificent interpretation of the photo!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteP.S. I just noticed that I have entered more than the total of three challenges you allow, sorry about that. It's a shame it's so limiting because none of the other challenges compete with yours and I've already linked my card to those blogs. I really had fun with this one.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed playing along with your challenge for the first time! Great inspiration photo and DT cards. Stef x
ReplyDeleteGreat challenge and I just love that inspirational photo!! :)
