Welcome to The Card Concept.
This challenge we have a new theme for you to try! You must use the theme and create your card in one of the styles of the designers.
Inspired by the colours and the longing for spring to arrive I created a one layer garden. Hope to see one out my kitchen window soon!
Substitute complex shapes with circles for a clean and graphic design - simple, bubbly and fun!
The angles of the stripes and sentiment create nice movement without compromising a clean & graphic style.

I was inspired by the pretty colors in the inspiration photo. I couldn't figure out how to incorporate the blue, but I did use the salmon and green.
I was inspired by the texture of the cake and of course,the flowers and beautiful colors!

I chose to watercolor an image. While this card has fewer layers than I typically use, I have added gold card stock, gold embossing powder and some glitz with glitter to keep it classy and elegant.

Clean & Simple
Inspired by the colours and the longing for spring to arrive I created a one layer garden. Hope to see one out my kitchen window soon!
Keep your focal point to one side of your card to allow for lots of white space.
Clean & Graphic
The angles of the stripes and sentiment create nice movement without compromising a clean & graphic style.

My card doesn't even begin to resemble the inspiration photo, but it inspired me to use lots of white with pops of color!

I was tempted to add a cake to my card but in the end I stuck with the pretty colours in the flowers from the inspiration pic.

I was inspired by the colors - orange, green, yellow and blue and I anchored everything with white to make it come together. I created this for a masculine birthday -- I tried to approach a more 'clean' shabby chic style with lots of layers and embellishments instead of lace and flowers this week!
Freestyle Collage
The cluster of pretty flowers on the cake, and the pattern on the cake stand, were the inspiration for my card this week. A direct approach.
Classy & Elegant
Lesley Croghan (Guest Designer)
I was inspired by the colours in the photo and the pretty flowers! I added a lot of paper layers to the main panel of my card and a few gemstones to accent my flowers and butterflies.
