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...
April Mixed Media Guest Designer
This month we are focusing on Mixed Media designs. A design style that has gained great popularity in card making. For the month of March we have amazing Maria Fisher joining us. If you haven't visited her blog, Reislingmama, you are in for a treat. You will find an artist who puts so much careful consideration in her designs and she will always discuss her process--what she did and why. Maria is knowledgeable in about every technique in the book. She is crazy talented and if we pay close attention we might learn a thing or two about mixed media.
