Welcome to The Card Concept!  Every two weeks we post our inspiration photo challenge and we hope you will join in with us and create a card for our challenge gallery.  Feel free to use any of the styles we have defined or create your won with a combination of styles.  We want you to have fun with our inspiration!

Before we show you our inspiration photo for this week, we are sad to announce that Rahmat Gouse will be stepping down from The Card Concept Design Team due to family commitments.  We love Rahmat’s style and know that she will continue to amaze us in the future with her talent.  If you have a chance to stop by Rahmat's blog, please let her know that you will miss her!

Here is our current inspiration challenge:
