The Card Concept {A Colour Challenge} and Designer Farewell

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!

Before we get to the challenge, we want to let you know that we will be taking a break! After this challenge closes, we will return in September for our next challenge. We decided to take the summer off and spend time with our families! 

We do have some designers leaving us and this is their final challenge with us. We are sad to see them go but we completely understand! Thank you to Kristie, Geri, Narelle, Cindy, Yoonsun, and Sheri! You are all so talented and lovely. We will miss 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...
