The Card Concept #78 {Pastel Party}

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: 

Ruth Andrews 

Ruth's Inspiration: The soft pastels made me want to go

super Clean & Simple and just One Layer.

Becca Cruger

Becca's Inspiration: A departure from my usual 

Mixed Media style, I decided this pretty inspiration 

image deserved a Clean & Layered treatment. 

I loved the colorblocked dresser and all those 

stuffed animals just made me reach for my

baby-themed stamps.

Vicki Finger

Vicki's Inspiration: I chose the pastel colors as the 
inspiration for my Classy & Elegant card.

Julie Gearinger

Julie's Inspiration- I was inspired by the pastel colors, 

the kitty images as well as the different patterns for my

Freestyle Collage/Shabby Chic card.

Kim Heggins

Kim's Inspiration:I was inspired by the beautiful soft

pastel colors for my fun Clean & Graphic card.

Michele K. Henderson

Michele's Inspiration: I had to do something fun with 

that little sweater and those soft pastels in my

Clean & Simple Freestyle Collage card.

Nancy Penir

Nancy's Inspiration: Oh those sweet pastels! I'd call it

Clean & Layered, with a touch of Classy Elegance.

inspired by the colours and patterns.
