The Card Concept #76 {Romantic Roses}

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 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: 

Becca Cruger

Becca's Inspiration: I was all about that black and white damask and incorporated it into my glitzy background. I also loved the bold red blooms and chose to work in the Classy & Elegant style to give this card a regal finish.

Karen Davis

Karen's Inspiration: I was inspired by the wrapping paper, the gorgeous red roses and the bold black and red colour scheme for my Clean & Layered card.

Vicki Finger

Vicki's Inspiration - I was inspired by the colors in the bouquet and wanted touches of the red, black and white in my Classy & Elegant card.

Julie Gearinger

Julie's Inspiration- I was inspired by the gorgeous red roses, the white shutters as well as the black and white scroll pattern for my Shabby Chic/ Mixed Media card! 

Michele K. Henderson

Michelle's Inspiration: I was inspired by the deep red roses and the white, wooden slats, which reminded me of shutters in my Clean & Layered card.

Kim Heggins

Kim's Inspiration: I was inspired by the beautiful red roses with a wee touch of green for my Clean & Simple card.  I wanted to give my card a clean look with the focus on the roses.

Nancy Penir

Nancy's Inspiration: It's all about romance this month, and wedding cards! I zoned in on those red roses and the shabby shutters for my Clean & Layered card.

Maureen Plut

Maureen's Inspiration: The colours and end of the school year inspired my Clean & Layered card. 

Susan Powell

Susan's Inspiration: The background along with the roses inspired me to make this Clean & (somewhat) Layered card.

Angel Rivera

Angel is taking a break- please stop by and say "hi"! 

Mackie Robertson

Mackie's Inspiration: I was inspired by the roses along with the red and black colors for my Clean & Layered card!

Julee Tilman

Julee's Inspiration: I took my inspiration for this Classy & Elegant with a hint of Shabby Chic card from the colors, texture and layout of the photo.

Veronica Zalis

Veronica's Inspiration: I took my inspiration from the beautiful, bold rose, and the black and white patterns of the inspiration picture for my Clean & Layered/Classy & Elegant card.

Vicki Finger

Vicki's Inspiration - I was inspired by the bold pattern on the wing backed chairs against the neutrality of the rest of the image for my Classy and Elegant card.  The center panel on my card mimics the lines of  the dining table going through the center of the inspiration image.  

Julie Gearinger

Julie's Inspiration- I was inspired by the bold pattern on the chairs as well as those gorgeous pink flowers to create a Clean and Graphic/Mixed Media card!

Nancy Penir

Nancy's Inspiration: The contemporary style of the room, the pattern

on the chairs, and the pop of bright pink on my Clean and Layered card.

Maureen Plut

Maureen's Inspiration: everything! The colours, the flowers, the patterns inspired my Clean and Layered card.

Susan Powell

Susan's Inspiration: I was inspired by the colors and the feeling of wanting a cup of tea while sitting in one of those chairs by the window to make my Clean and Layered card.

Angel Rivera

Angel's Inspiration: I was inspired by the bold black chairs and that pop of fuchsia for my Clean and Layered card!

Mackie Robertson

Mackie's Inspiration: I was inspired by the neutrals, gold and that graphic pattern on the chairs for my Clean and Simple style card.

Julee Tilman

Julee's Inspiration: This Mixed Media card was inspired by the splash of hot pink and the criss- cross lines on the chairs.
