The styles are explained HERE.

Now for the design team and their inspiration:

BeccaCruger

Becca's Inspiration- This picture was pure heaven to look at! I looooved all that yummy texture, and brought that into my Mixed Media card. I also used the same tones for my flowers.

Karen Davis

Karen's Inspiration- For my slightly Shabby Chic card, I was mostly inspired by the colors, the flowers were a 'must' and the cutouts in the chair also attracted me. 

Julie Gearinger

Julie's Inspiration- I was inspired by the beautiful flowers, the colors and the textures to create a simple Mixed Media card. 

Michele K. Henderson

Michele's Inspiration- I was so inspired by that old chair and those bright flowers. I wanted all the focus to be on that great texture in my Freestyle Collage card!

Maureen Plut

Maureen's Inspiration- My Clean and Layered card was inspired by the flowers against a neutral, wood background.
