The Card Concept #58 {Sweet & Sour}
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.

Before we get onto this week's challenge we have a sad announcement to make...we are saying farewell to two of our designers...Deanne Kay and Laura Jane. Both ladies have been with us for a long while and we will miss working with them. Of course, this also means that we have two new designers joining our team...please help us to welcome these two talented ladies!

Hi, my name is Karen Davis, I live in Auckland, New Zealand with my husband of 22 years, Graham. My spare time is spent making cards, nearly always in the small hours of the night/morning. I started dabbling in paper crafting nine years ago, but it wasn’t until 2013 that I became aware of the huge online card making community and challenges. I started my own blog so I could become a part of that wonderful crafting world. I am returning to The Card Concept as a designer and I am delighted to be a part of this amazingly talented design team. I will be sharing the Freestyle Collage Style with Michele Henderson.

I am a St. Patrick's day baby from Beautiful British Columbia, Canada with a passion for card making. When I'm not in the studio, I'm a Grade One elementary teacher, happy wife to Tony, proud mom to Jake, and loving Grandmoe to Ashlynn and Beckham. I am honoured to join The Card Concept as a Shabby Chic designer!
We are starting back with a bang of colour and we hope you are inspired to join us!
