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 own with a combination of styles. We want you to have fun with our
inspiration!
Our design team members will also be selecting a style (or combination of styles) and will
explain how they were inspired by the challenge. So come and join us!
We'd love you to try your hand at a brand new style of card making or
feel free to work in your comfort zone. It is totally up to you!
The styles are explained HERE.
Now for the design team and their inspiration:
